In VTrain 5.2 and newer versions, each user has their own document folders and customized settings.The
only prerequisite is that each user has a user profile (i.e. a separate login) in Windows.
To create a user profile in Windows, choose Start menu
| Settings | Control panel | User accounts.
| Where does VTrain store my user configuration? |
|
|
| |
|
|
Whenever a user launches VTrain, the program loads the settings specific
to that user from the file train.ini, which is usually located in the following folder:

| |
 |
|
Windows 7:
C:\Users\<User name>\AppData\VTrain |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| |
 |
|
Windows Vista:
C:\Documents and Settings\<User name>\AppData\VTrain |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| |
 |
|
Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<User name>\Application
Data\VTrain |

To find out the location of this folder, you can also open the Windows Command Line (MS DOS session) and type "set appdata".
Please note also that in Windows Vista / 7, the "AppData" folder is usually hidden. To make it visible,
you can do the following:

| |
1. |
|
Log on to Windows as Administrator. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| |
2. |
|
Open the Windows Explorer and view the following folder...
...in Windows Vista:
C:\Documents and Settings\<User name>\
...in Windows 7:
C:\Users\<User name>\ |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| |
3. |
|
Activate the following option:
Organize menu | Folder and search options | View
| Advanced settings | Display all files and folders |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| |

|
|
 |
| |
|
|
| Where does VTrain store my documents? |
|
|
| |
|
|
Besides, the Open and Save dialog boxes will focus the following folder
("Working Directory") by default:
C:\Documents and Settings\<User name>\My Documents\VTrain
Usually, Decks and Cardfiles are stored in that folder. For this reason, it is advisable to make regular backup
copies of the Working Directory.
Of course, you can choose a different Working Directory, from the Tools menu of VTrain. For example, you might need to store the documents of all users
on the same spot. For more information, see Sharing
documents. |
