Deploy Default Destination Folder Registry Key SOLVED

[EGISINTUNES]

Hello,

I wanted to know if there is a registry key created or an ini file modified when I modify my preference ?

I want to change the Default Destination Folder when "Saving as". I want to deploy it for all our devices.

Thanks in advance,

Hello EGISINTUNES,

Yes - UI changes are usually stored in the registry.
The specific one you are after should be under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PDF-XChange\PDFEditor\Settings\Docs\Save\t.CustomSaveAsFolder = "<Your custom path>"

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

We are using PDF-XCHANGE Editor and I don't have the path you mentionned in my registry keys.
The path I have is : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor


I'll attach a screenshot of what I have :

Thanks !

Hello, EGISINTUNES

That would indicate you are running a previous version of the software, but otherwise yes, those are the keys to be looking at in you installation if you do not have the PDF-XChange keys in place yet.

Kind regards,

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your answer.

After updating, I now have the correct registry key thanks !

You can check whether the application stores preferences in the Windows Registry or an INI/config file, as it depends on the software. If a registry key or configuration file is updated when you change the "Save As" default folder, you can deploy that setting across your devices. Monitoring the change with a registry or file comparison tool can help identify the exact location.
