Default Location

 

Remote Desktop Manager saves its configurations in a file named remotedesktopmanager.cfg. This file contains all of the application settings and the configured data source. All of the data source settings are encrypted for security reason.

 

If Remote Desktop Manager is installed in a sub folder inside "Program Files" and is not running on a Terminal Server, the configuration is saved in

"%LocalAppData%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager."

 

If the application is running on a Terminal Server, the configuration is saved in "%AppData%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager." It uses the roaming profile to avoid multi-user conflicts.

 

In any other case, the configuration is saved in the installation folder. This allows you to install multiple versions of the application side-by-side, as long as you don't install it in a sub folder of "Program Files." (For more information on why -- this is because of the "Program Files" virtualization introduced with Windows Vista: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927387.)

 

Override the Default Path

 

There are two possible ways to change the default option path:

 

1. Create a file named "Override.cfg" in the application folder. Remote Desktop Manager opens this file and reads the fist line. It should contain the desired installation folder (without the option filename). If you wish to use the current installation path, put a dot in the file. Here are two examples:

 

 

2. By adding a key in the registry: CurrentUser\SOFTWARE\RemoteDesktopManager, OptionPath. Set the desired path in the key OptionPath. Don't forget to exclude the option file name in the key.
