About RCS user settings

Foreword

When you use RCS, you adjust and customize a lot of settings.

It might be helpful to know where it is saved in the following situations : 

• deleting a corrupted file
• keep settings when upgrading to a new version
• moving settings to another computer / profile
• force settings through GPO
• ...

Solution

Every adjustment / setting made by the user is saved in the user's profile, in different places. 

As files

The files are by default located in some specific folders:

• %APPDATA%\Strategies\<RCS_App_Name>\<Version>
• %LOCALAPPDATA%\Strategies\<RCS_App_Name>\<Version>
• <MyDocuments>\RCS Data

As registry

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Strategies\<RCS_App_Name>\<Version>\...
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Strategies\<RCS_App_Name>\<Version>\...

When saved as a registry key, the final setting value is set using the following rule 

1. If registry key exists in HKEY_CURRENT_USER, use this value
2. Else if registry key exists in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, use this value
3. Otherwise, use default value

As some settings are used to specify some file / folder location, you should examine these values to have an exhaustive knowledge of all the RCS settings location.
