Installed Files

User files for Hummingbird connectivity products fall into two categories:

Per-machine files are those application or service files that, when changed, affect all users of the computer. An example is the inetd.ini file. If you change inetd.ini to stop the Telnet daemon from running, then regardless of which user is logged onto the computer, the Inetd service rejects Telnet connections.

Per-user files are all application or service files that, when changed, affect only the user who is making the change (that is, the currently logged in user). An example of a user-specific file is exceed.cfg. If you configure exceed.cfg with Xconfig to use a certain Display, then other users of the machine are not affected.

Note: Only the user who installs the product has access to those user files in the current user directory.

The following are the per-machine file locations:

Operating System Per-Machine--File Location
Windows
95/98/Me
C:\Windows\System\Hummingbird\Connectivity\<Version>
Windows NT 4.0 Windows 2000 C:\Winnt\System32\Hummingbird\Connectivity\<Version>

Current User versus "All Users"

For Windows NT/2000 platforms, Hummingbird Setup Wizard prompts you to choose between installing the product on the computer for the currently logged in user, or for all users. For the current user, shortcuts are created in the appropriate user profile folder, along with copies of all other user files. For all users (anyone who uses the computer), shortcuts are created in the "All Users" profile folder, along with copies of all other user files.

The following are the default locations for user files:

Operating System Per-User Files--Default Location (Current User)
Windows 95/98/Me C:\Windows\Application Data
Windows 95/98/Me (user profiles enabled) C:\Windows\Profiles\%USERNAME%\Application Data
Windows NT 4.0 C:\Winnt\Profiles\%USERNAME%\Application Data
Windows 2000 C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data (hidden)
Operating System Per-User Files--Default Location (All Users)
Windows 95/98/Me C:\Windows\Application Data
Windows 95/98/Me (user profiles enabled) C:\Windows\Profiles\All Users\Application Data
Windows NT 4.0 C:\Winnt\Profiles\All Users\Application Data
Windows 2000 C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
(hidden)
