Save FrameMaker preferences permanently

Question

How can I tell FrameMaker to remember the changes in preferences permanently. For instance, I would like FM not to take automatic backup on save or create Lock File on Network. Now, each time I open FM, I have to set these options under preferences but as soon as FM is closed or crashes the options are back to original.

Hi, Where are your preferences stored?Mine are here:c:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\15\maker.iniCan you check which file is changed, when you change something in your preferences?There is also another maker.ini file here:c:\Users\122REW49\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\15\maker.ini Possibly yours are in a directory where you do not have write permissions without administrator privileges. Best regards Winfried
