Aloha James,

Shortcuts are specific to each computer. They are attached to the user name and are consistent throughout all companies accessed from the computer where they are set up.

Hi Kathy,

Right. So where can I change the setting to store the Shortcuts in the MB7 folder on a Network Drive, instead of the local C:/Users...etc.?

Unfortunately you cannot point sage to another location.  However I do recommend that your IT person set up some automatic backup of those file locations from each workstation over to a place on the server so that when you change workstations or a computer crashes you can copy them to a new computer.  

Note:  The AppData folder is a system folder and by default Windows hides systems folders so you will need to change your folder view settings to see them.  I also recommend unchecking the "hide extension of known file types" because I like to know the extensions of all the files.

The location is:

c:\users\your windows login name\AppData\Local\Sage\sage 100 Contractor\User Maps\your Sage 100 login name\ *.map

There will be a different file * for each Sage 100 tab.

I usually put all my shortcuts on the Home & Resources Tab or the Reports Tab since those are blank to start with.  

Thanks Char.

So, if I copy the *.map files from computer 1 to computer 2, will we get our shortcuts to show on the second computer?

Likewise, if I copy them from one user to another, will they propagate as expected?

Aloha,

Yes that is correct.  But be careful that the second user doesn't already have a custom map or it will be lost.

Remember the deep path is unique for everyone since its under the user's windows login name
