When creating a new user with the user administration tool under NT, the administrator can specify directories, either for the user profile and/or for user files. When installing Mathematica, the new directories created for Mathematica user specific files will use the directory created for the user. Mathematica then follows NT preferences, so if you want to modify Mathematica preferences, do it with the user administration tool. Doing this will ensure your preferences paths ($Path for instance) to be automatically set to include your user directory. You do not need to have your own stuff in the Mathematica directory, except that new packages, applications and so on need to be in this directory. Email me if you want me to show you my own configuration. Hope this helps, **************************************** Jean-Marie THOMAS Conseil et Audit en Ingnierie de Calcul Strasbourg, France **************************************** -----Original Message----- From: su27k at hotmail.com [mailto:su27k at hotmail.com] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Subject: [mg13398] [mg13357] The "Users" directory under NT Hi, I noticed that Mathematica 3.0 made a directory named "Users" under Windows NT. I suppose it is used to store configuration stuffs for different users. However, I already have directories for user-specific information, so I wonder if there's a way to change the default location of these configuration files? I checked the preference, but can't find an option for it. Could someone help me on this? Thanks.
