About user configuration files
Fireworks user configuration files are stored in the Macromedia/Fireworks 8 folder in your
user-specific Application Data folder (Windows) or Application Support folder (Macintosh).
The location of this folder varies depending on what operating system you use and on
whether your system is a multiuser system or a single-user system. For information on
locating this folder, see your operating system documentation.
About master configuration files that affect all users
Master configuration files that affect all users are located in the Fireworks application folder,
which is the location on your hard disk where you installed Fireworks.
Whether you’re on a multiuser or a single-user system, Fireworks changes your user-specific
configuration files and not the master configuration files in the Fireworks application folder
when you save most settings. This is because many users don’t have access to all files if they are
on multiuser systems.
Users with administrator-level access can customize features for all users by modifying the
master configuration files in the Fireworks application folder.
To save a master configuration setting for all users:
■
Save or drag a copy of the file into the appropriate location in the Fireworks application
folder.
Location of the Fireworks preferences file
Fireworks preferences are stored in a file named Fireworks 8 Preferences.txt (Windows) or
Fireworks 8 Preferences (Macintosh). The location of this file varies depending on your
operating system.
■
In Windows, preferences are in your user-specific Fireworks configuration folder. For
more information about locating this folder, see
“About user configuration files”
on page 452 .
