How can I do the editing for the user profile inside NT4/Windows 2000?
Tested kes:
After I installed the Informix Client in side my NT machine using Adminstrator rights, the Informix works perfactly. But when I login using different username, theInformix cannot works, but when I copy the adminstrator's profile to my user profile, the program works, so my question is can I do the editing inside NT4 profile for each username?

There might be tools but I'm not aware of them. However what might work in your situation is copying the settings for Informix in the default_user section of the profiles in the registry. This means that any user which logs on afresh to this machine(no profile locally yet) will get these settings copied into his profile.

Hope this helps,

You must first determine which part of the user profile is being used by the Informix Client. There are numberous parts of the user profile and most likely the part Informix is interested in is the Application Data folder. Try copying the App Data folder from your Administrator profile to a new users profile and try running the client program. It this works then you will only need to copy the Application Data folder from your Administrator's profile to the users that need to use the client or if you wish to the default user profile. This will enable all new users to use the client. The only downfall in doing this is if some of your users have installed different programs that were not installed under the Administrator account it may cause those programs to stop working if you replace the entire Application Data folder. You may want to experiment with subfolders within the Application Data folder to find out which one Informix is looking for. Good Luck
