SUMMARY

The personal options (click Options on the Tools menu) are saved in a file named <username>.vue. For Microsoft Windows version 3.x and Microsoft Windows 95, the file is stored in the WINDOWS directory, and for Microsoft Windows NT, this file is stored in the WINNT35 directory, by default.

Users and administrators concerned about the security of the WINNT35 directory have the ability to modify the registry and specify a different location for the .vue file.
