Users can update TN3270 Plus preferences by opening the Setup menu and selecting Preferences. See the Preferences Command for a description of each preference setting.
The TN3270 Plus user preferences are kept in the following doubleword registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SDI\ TN3270 Plus\Configuration\Preferences
By default, the preference settings are user specific. Administrators can apply preferences to all users and also have the ability to set some preferences that are not available to the user.
Administrators can set preferences for all users on the PC by copying the doubleword value from
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SDI\ TN3270 Plus\Configuration\Preferences
to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\SDI\ TN3270 Plus\Configuration\Preferences (64-bit Windows)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SDI\ TN3270 Plus\Configuration\Preferences (32-bit Windows)
and then deleting
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SDI\ TN3270 Plus\Configuration\Preferences.
The Preferences key is a doubleword and uses the following hexadecimal values: To add a preference, add its value to the current Preference value.
