Settings in V8 (non user specific)

I am trying to find a way to make a particular machine install have the same settings for any user that logs in. Specifically I want to set the default save format to DWG 2004 and set specific plotstyle and plotconfig directories, along with added paths. I have not found a simple way to do this. I know I can export a generic user profile and each person once they log in would have to load that the first time. I would prefer to just change BC to use universal settings (such as off a network drive).

    Jon,I do most of this automation via lisp. I have an access(.mdb) file that stores all the system variables, environment settings, default layers ,etc..., The lisp routine queries this database on startup. This really helps in keeping things standardized. Maybe something similar would work for you.
