Dear Maxine I did not have a response from developers why the location of the configuration file is inconsistent, such that it is overwritten every time.

I am just poor professor made to find workarounds for my labs. In time we shall use VBOX_USER_HOME, which ought to provide a proper fix as this can point at the home drive of each student (ie H:\). In the meantime I am only trying to understand why the students are losing their global configuration every time they restart the program, even though the files remain in the directory. Instead the old file is renamed and a new "empty" file is created in its place. This makes no sense if USERPROFILE is used every time. Regards Malcolm
