|-- Users/
|
|-- AllUsers/ - settings inherited by all users
|-- Default/ - settings for user Default

● Each user created has a <User> folder created here to store their individual
preference settings (e.g. user Tom above)
● The Default user folder always exists but may be empty if this user is not used.
● The AllUsers folder contains preferences shared by all users.
A user (or their administrator) can edit (or copy) files in their own folder to affect a single
user, or edit (or copy) files in the AllUsers folder to affect all users.
note
Preference files inside the Users folder are not touched by an upgrade or install.
On first run of the application, some default preference files are copied from the
Presets\Users folder to the AllUsers and any <User> folder created (or Default if used).
Note that some preference files are created by the application on first run.
note
Any changes made by a user in the application preference GUI are saved in the
Users \ <User> preference folder.
note
A complete general.prefs file is created in the AllUsers folder. Preference files
created in the <User> folder might be empty or minimal, ready for customisation.
