Note to beta testers: I installed 1.4.0pre2 parallel to 1.3.7 (Win XP Pro), and when 1.4.0 rewrote my preferences file, all the viewer settings were vaporized. No big deal to get them back, once the defibrillator brought *me* back.

The solution is to use the -userdir options. Make a shortcut of lyx 1.4.0 executable, right-click on the short-cut and click properties. If "paul" is your login, on the "target" field add this at the end of the path to the lyx executable:

-userdir "C:\Documents and Settings\paul\Application Data\LyX-1.4"

Angus, if you're reading, it might be a good idea to make this the default as 1.3 and 1.4 have incompatible settings.

Hope this helps,
Abdel.
