preferences profile location

Is there a way to export/import preferences or specify where to look for preferences? Specifically, when I log into another machine, I would like all my prefences and filters to be available over the network.

Preferences are stored in the PL/SQL Developer directory in the Preferences subdirectory. If your PL/SQL Developer installation resides on a file server, your preferences will be preserved from one machine to the next.

Developer is not installed on the network, but on each machine. Also, I could not find a corresponding Preferences subdirectory either under Program Files or under my own Application Data.

Look under C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer\Preferences. At least that's where it is on my machine using version 6.

I kind of do both.
At my desk, I have PL/SQL Developer installed on my hard drive. It runs a little faster than over the network.

I have also copied the entire PL/SQL developer directory onto a network drive folder that only I have access to. When I log onto another machine, I run it from the network so I have my preferences. It makes it easier for me when I work from home also since I can access our network from WTS.

I've finally found the answer. If you go into the registry (regedit), under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Allround Automations. Right click on the Allround Automations folder and export. Copy that file to the new computer and double click. Does not require reboot and all preference are effective immediately.
