Unlike the ConQuest Q Series application, for which the shortcut always determines where to look for the configuration, On-screen Takeoff keeps the configuration location in the registry.
Note: Do not attempt to make changes to the registry if you are not very sure what you're doing - get your IT to make the change for you, or if they are not available, please continue with a support member for further assistance.
The key is HKLM\SOFTWARE\ConQuest\OnScreenTakeOff\ConfigLocation, and the correct location should be specified in double quotes, ie, "C:\Program Files\ConQuest\On-Screen TakeOff\Configuration" for a local install or "Q:\conquest q series\takeoffusers\%username%\Configuration" as an example for a network one.
If you wish to override this, for example to be able to use both a local version and a network version, you can create a second shortcut and amend the target as you would for ConQuest, however, the format is slightly different: "C:\Program Files\ConQuest\On-Screen TakeOff\OnScreenTakeOff.exe" --configuration "Q:\ConQuest Q series\TakeOffUsers\%username%\Configuration" where the second path is the location of the alternative Configuration folder.
To control which configuration is launched when starting the application from within ConQuest, you will need to edit the takeoffsettings.xml in the ConQuest configuration to add the following, where the path specified is the location of the configuration:
<setting>
<name>exeArguments</name>
<value>-- configuration "q:\conquest q series\takeoffusers\%username%\configuration</value>
</setting>
