File Locations for Kaizen Software Solutions' Products

Below is a listing of default file locations for Config, Database, and Log files for our software products. This information may be useful for special configurations or when diagnosing a connection error. In most cases you will not need to modify these files. If you decide to modify any of the files listed below, you should first create a backup copy of the original file before changing it.

Config Files

• The [Program Name].exe.config file in the Program Files\[Program Name] directory contains the default values that will be used to create the initial user.config file which is used to store individual user preferences.
• The default location for the user.config file is in the "Local Users Application Data" folder which varies according to the OS. This file is created the first time a specific user opens the program, and it is updated as preferences are changed:
  Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[user account name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Kaizen_Software_Solutions\[Unique Program ID]
  Windows Vista: C:\Users\[user account name]\AppData\Local\Kaizen_Software_Solutions\[Unique Program ID]

Database Files

• The default location for the local client database file is in the "All Users Application Data" folder which varies according to the OS:
  *Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\[Program Name]\[database file]
  *Windows Vista: C:\Program Data\[Program Name]\[database file]
• The default location for the remote server database is: C:\KZSoftware\[database file]

Log Files

• The default location for the local client log file is:
  *Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\[Program Name]\log.txt
  *Windows Vista: C:\Program Data\[Program Name]log.txt
