Hi Karen,

Launching the AIJ from the personnal folder doesn't solve the problem, AIJ_Prefs.txt still wants to be written in C:\Windows\...

The Windows overlayer is a security layer that prevents users (mostly students) to misbehave with the system (forbids access to sensible folders and settings, etc). At this day there is no way to remove it without endangering the system. I have an alternative solution with another layer more windows-based (through GPOs), but I haven't yet installed it in this school.

Anyway, this problem only impacts for remembering personnal settings, so I guess it should work anyway, though they'd have to fix some settings each time they use AIJ. I've told the professor to test the software, if it works "as is", it'll do until I change the security system.

Thanks
Vincent
