Koyb, Here is a link I found to to a relevant article that addresses this issue:
http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-2686033.php If you decide to address this issue by modifying the default permissions of the entire folder hierarchy under the "All Users" profile, YMMV. I tried this on one user's machine while logged in as an administrator, only to find that the original read-only permissions were restored when the user logged back in under her regular non-administrator account. I think this may have been due to the permissions tied to the user's Novell account in our case. So, the permission change may have to be made at the domain account level in order for it to 'stick'. --Thomas ----- Original Message ----- From: Thomas Bean Newsgroups: gmane.comp.crm.arsystem.general To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2008 6:22 PM Subject: Re: User Tool ** Koyb, What version of the user tool did you upgrade from and to? I ran into some similar issues after the version 7.0.01 Patch 004 upgrade, which moved the default home directory from the current user's profile into the "All Users" profile (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AR System\User\home"). Unfortunately, the "All Users" profile seems to be read-only by default unless the current user belongs to at least the "Power Users" group in Windows (most of our users are not). If you are not using a preference server, the login server names would be stored in the file named "AR" in the home folder (not to be confused with "ar.ini", that is a different file). If you are unable to modify this file manually or copy a file into this same directory, then I'm guessing it is simply a write permissions issue. If so, you can simply reinstall the client and modify the default home folder location during the install to point to a different location with write access. You could probably do this without reinstalling, but it would probably require manually updating any registry key values that store any references to the AR home folder path.

For some reason it keeps wiping out the dev server. Before it used to work. Then I upgraded the user tool and now I can not add in the development server. What a pain. I went to see if my preferences were set to a specific server. My login does not have a preference. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight?
