Directory preferences in a locked down PC environment

691699Apr 16 2009 — edited May 18 2009
How do I change:
ide.pref.dir
ide.pref.dir.base
ide.user.dir
ide.work.dir
ide.work.dir.base
user.home
so that they don't reference a windows path like \\<server>\<user>$, but <drive letter>:\Oracle\sqldeveloper instead
We use locked down PC's (with no access to the A: and C: drives) . And when we start SQLD we get 16 dialogue windows say that it cannot access the A: drive, to which we press the continue button. You also get the message when using the File navigator and the File->Open or File-Save functions.

On upgrade from 1.5.1 to 1.5.4 the number of dialogue windows dropped from 16 to 2.

We also always lose our connextions and have to reimport from a saved file every morning.

A response to thread 649353 by user user641239 at 1-sep-2008 0:59 seems to have the solution - except it requires access to regedit. We don't have that. It's much too painful to get SQLD part of the PC build at the customer, so we need to be able to configure without resorting to regedit.

Any help appreciated.
