Deploy default configuration to users

Question / Problem

Is there a way to deploy a default configuration to all users?

Answer / Solution

Since v8.1 there are two options to provide a default configuration:

  1. (Applies to all versions) Deploy a prepared TreeSize config file to "%AppData%\JAM Software\TreeSize\GlobalOptions.xml" of the user. If the user resets his copy of the options, the factory defaults will apply again.

    You can simply take it from any user's profile or use "Tools > Options > Export" in TreeSize to create such a file.
  2. (Available since v8.1) Deploy default configurations via the Windows Registry. You can configure and deploy them easily using administrative templates for the Group Policy Editor.
    More information and download options are available in the online manual.
    These settings will automatically take effect if the user starts TreeSize without having an options file already, or when resetting the options to default.

You may use our MSI installer to deploy the software to all users.
