Hi,

Was wondering if i could get a firm response on whether the standard cache location can be modified for users of the application by defaut from

C:\ My Documents\My Adobe Captivate Projects.

We require the location to be set to D:\My Adobe Captivate Projects area(without manual intervention), we have tried to replace the objects.cpo (which holds a D Drive location) file for our test users but it seems to cause issues with the startup menu not displaying correctly. We have confirmed this with the following test.

  1. Login as Administrator
  2. Start Captivate and make configuration change. This creates and then updates Objects.cpo.
  3. Copy Objects.cpo to standard user profile
  4. Login as Standard User
  5. Start Captivate. Menu does not display correctly



  1. below is the default view that we expect from the application (this is when no changes are made)


Any help to get to the botton of the issue will be greatly appreciated.

Why don't you just change the location in the Edit > Preferences > General > Default Locations fields?  Do this without any projects open to set Global Preferences.  Make sure all projects you create are also set this way for their Local Preferences.

Check what it looks like in Cp7 here:

Cp8 is much the same.

Thanks, Rod--having your web tutes have been very helpful--but I just see Publish At and Project Cache for the Global and Project preferences--not the My Adobe Captive Projects--am I missing something?

As long as you set the Default Location fields to point to folders on one of your LOCAL hard drives on your PC and NOT to a networked LAN drive you will be fine.

Just make sure as well that whatever folder you publish to is already set up as a trusted location in your Flash Global Security settings (as described by me in the above linked post).  I usually just set my entire drive as a trusted location then it doesn't matter which folder there I publish to.
