Environmental Vairables For Runnin Config

[andrewsilecchia]

PLEASE HELP -

I am trying to run a config.pro that fixes my companies config.pro that cannot be written over because of their security privileges. The only I know I can do this automatically is if I set-up an ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLE that will run after I start up PRO E.

Can someone tell me what the string I need to enter in the ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE character box needs to be for this to work?

PLEASE HELP!

You actually have 2 choices. On is the environment
variable that defines the user's home directory (which I
don't know, sorry), the other is modifying the Pro/E start
icon (or creating a new one) to point to another startup
folder and placing your config there. If you RMB on the
start icon and select properties, set the 'start in' folder
to where your personal config lives.

The environment variable in Windows is simply HOME. In windows7 it should be set to C:\Users\user_name. Changing it will affect a lot of behaviors besides Pro/E.

Remember there are config files that will automatically load and that you can manually load as many as you want after that:
<load_point>\text\config.sup (can not over write anything set here)
<load_point>\text\config.pro
$home\config.pro
startup_dir\config.pro

Thank you.

The 'start in' folder is what I was looking for...but I'm still wondering how that Environmental Variable thing still works??
