"Program Files" access issues

[Safig]

Hi everybody.

PL/SQL Developer has been purshased, then installed on Windows2000 server by an Administrator.
The installed release is # 6.0.1.848.

PLSQL Dev has to save user's preferences in "c:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer\Preferences" directory...

Thus, the account which uses PL/SQL Dev, has no administrator rights. Then, PLSQLDev is not allowed to write those preferences into "Program Files"...

1/ Is there a way to save user preferences into another directory ?

2/ Whatever the answer is, it should be better to save this preferences into "c:\Documents and Settings\###\Application Data\PLSQL Developer" directory, where ### is the account name connection...

Best wishes.

Alain.

Yes, you can specify the prefpath command-line parameter. For example:

plsqldev.exe prefpath=u:\userdata

2/ Whatever the answer is, it should be better to save this preferences into "c:\Documents and Settings\###\Application Data\PLSQL Developer" directory, where ### is the account name connection...

It would at least be a good alternative.
