It is certainly missing in Fin2004.
I think in my first reply I missed Ken's point. I would say that any application that does *not* supply a user interface for user- configurable settings is very poorly designed. Second, apps that don't put those settings files in the OS-defined appropriate location are also poorly designed. Phil's complaint suggests that there are apps that put their settings in an OS-appropriate location and that those settings files cannot be edited in Vista. Somehow, I doubt that both of those things can actually be true. What I believe is more likely is that a location that was formerly defined as appropriate for user settings has been redefined in Vista as *not* appropriate. Of course, why one simply can't edit the permissions on these files manually to get around the problem, I can't say. I'd assume that Phil is knowledgable enough to have tried that. -- David W.
