List:
I copied the entire UT subfolder which is located in C->Program Files-> MapInfo->Professional by default and placed a copy of it in the target subfolder in “My Documents”. I didn’t know which files necessary and which were not needed, so I copied everything. I then created a desktop shortcut to the IMUTGUI.EXE in this subfolder. The universal translator appears to function normally if MapInfo is also open, but will not function properly if it is not. This was done to reduce the number of file navigation keystrokes in lieu of setting UT to always go to a default subfolder in “My Documents”.

Dear List:
I want to set up default values so that both the Universal Translator (UT) input file folder and the output file folder are a “My Documents” subfolder on a workstation. My network is set up so that all “My Documents” directories actually reside on a server instead of the workstations so they may be automatically backed up daily using a tape drive. I don’t think that this will be an issue as this setup is seamless and some workstation operators are not even aware of it.
We have a work process where frequent aerial pesticide spray applications are planned using MapInfo 7.0. The AgNav avionics units in our airplanes require an ESRI shape file (SHP polygon) input of a planned mission, and they provide a file “snail trail” (SHP polylines) of an airplane’s flight and spray activities. When a mission is set up, the mission planning SHP file is provided to the pilot via a thumb drive and the subsequent mission record SHP file is returned via a thumb drive.
I have tried the MapInfo Options/Preferences settings, but I have not found a way for the UT to work in the “My Documents” folder by default. I someone could enlighten me, I would appreciate it.
