So? Why would I want to repeat a mistake ;-) Each user has his own $LYX_USER_DIR/preferences file, no? If I install as Administrator, how can my users see/use my preferences file that's in C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Application Data\LyX\preferences ? They don't even have read permission to look in that directory and, anyway, LyX currently looks only for a system-wide lyxrc.defaults file at C:\Program Files\LyX\Resources\lyx\lyxrc.defaults It's this file that should contain system-wide configuration data even though it's currently a PITA to generate/modify on Windows. -- Angus
