Copy settings wizard
Copy settings wizard
(OP)
I have found many posts on how to do it (save reg. settings) but I didn't find any instructions when a user is required to have admin. priviledges to save it. I constantly have to get the MIS dudes to log on as administrator for me to do so. After getting brow beat a million times there must be a better way to accomplish this task. I'm not looking for a way to hack into my computer but if anyone knows a solution please share.

RE: Copy settings wizard
You could have MIS set up a scheduled task to copy the settings daily, weekly, etc.
Or perhaps have them assign you "admin" or "power user" rights.
RE: Copy settings wizard
Constantly was an exaggeration...same goes for getting brow beat a MILLION times. Anyhow, I find new tool icons and macros to add to my tool bar periodically. I like to keep my reg settings as current as possible for JIC reasons. I also use my settings on other pc's when trouble shooting or sharing. However, I've never known SW to ask for admin privileges (until SW2006) to save reg settings. I find bothering MIS for the task a nuisance...they most likley feel the same. Thanks for the reply...much appreciated.

Before learnign of this, I was eroneously convinced that either my users were in playing around with settings, or I was going crazy...fortunately, neither were true.
Enjoy!

RE: Copy settings wizard
Actually you should get them exactly like you want them. Then copy out your settings and you should not have change it anymore. but if you don't have reg rights then every time you make a change it won't save it, because you don't have right to the reg setting and when you come back to SW later and start it up your setting are changed. Its your IT problem not yours and there is no way around this. they have to give you rights to at least the registry.

RE: Copy settings wizard
Thanks Scott...I will continue to 'push' the issue for I do agree. My MIS guys just need to understand my needs. Hey...their computer geeks...not SolidWorks nerds ;~)
FYI...I have been reading your responses (and web page) for a long time...always top notch SW advice! You da' man!
Compliments from a potential SW guru waiting to stretch his wings.
