* See for details: [[How Benderlink for Chiyoda/KEINS Handles Data for Multi-User Login]]
# The Benderlink installation program installs an initial set of common configuration files for all users.  In Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8, these files are stored in '''c:\ProgramData\BenderlinkChiyodaKeins'''<br><br>
+
# When a new user (new Windows login) starts Benderlink, the common setup files are used to establish a unique set of starting configuration files assigned to that user's private '''c:\users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\BenderlinkChiyodaKeins''' folder.<br><br>
+
# The bender and measuring center files are stored in '''Documents\BenderlinkChiyodaKeins'''.  If these folders and files do not exist when Benderlink starts, then Benderlink will copy common configuration files from the common folder into this folder to give the user a starting set of sample parts.<br><br>
+
# Benderlink will also automatically assign that Documents location as the default part storage path.  (This path can be configured inside Benderlink to other paths.)<br><br>

Check.jpg ENHANCED - Better Handling for Installations With Multiple User Accounts

This version of Benderlink allows for installation on Windows setups that use multiple users with different login names. Benderlink can now properly handle unique configurations for each user by starting with a copy of common starting configuration files.

Previous installations required that the installer be logged into Windows as the user name that will use the computer with Benderlink. When logging on as a different user, Benderlink would lose track of the configuration files.

The method described on the right follows the Microsoft-suggested method of handling program data for multi-user logins for Windows from Vista and newer (Examples: Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8)
