I have a problem.
i can’t save some preferences like viewport statistics and others.
In 3dsmax 2008 i can’t find the 3dsmax.ini file.

I’m under a domain with users access file policy…and it would be the reason…but it’s strange that i can’t find the 3dsmax.ini file.

What about your 3dsamx 2008 installation??

Anyone know how to do it?

Bye

Excuse for my bad english

EDIT: i found into C:\Documents and Settings\(user)\Impostazioni locali\Dati applicazioni\Autodesk\3dsmax\2008 - 32bit\enu the 3dsmax.ini file but i can’t find in it the viewport statistics options.

EDIT2:i found how to save viewport configuration. I’ve set as i want and saved the empty scene maxstart.max into \\domain\USERS\A-M\(username)\3dsmax\scenes and now it works.

Mine is in: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\3dsmax\9 - 64bit\enu\

Isn’t that obvious? :stuck_out_tongue:

If you’re alone, ditch the multi-user mess entirely.
A lot easier a life, and shorter a path.

thanks lele..i’ve search for toggle multi-user from preferences..but i don’t found.

Where can i disable multi-user “perdita di tempo” feature??

maxroot\installsettings.ini
change
useUserProfiles=1 to useUserProfiles=0

that should work.
