Windows 7/10: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\edvrclient\edvrclient.xml
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\edvrclient.xml
Ubuntu: ~/.edvrclient.dir/edvrclient.xml
Mac: /Users/%username%/Library/Application Support/edvrclient/edvrclient.xml
Replace %username% with the user account name.

Each operating system user account maintains separate settings for its exacqVision Client. The settings stored include usernames, passwords, and network addresses required for exacqVision Client to access exacqVision Servers, as well as settings configured on the Client Setup page and memory of the position and live mode state of multiple Client instances. Passwords are encrypted within the file.

The file is stored in an operating system user-specific location. The user-specific directory is specified by an environment variable. The following environment variables are searched in order to determine the user specific directory: HOME, HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH, USERPROFILE, application directory. On Windows 7 and later, this directory is C:\Users\%username%. If you experience trouble when saving Client settings, ensure that a valid directory is specified by one of these environment variables. You can check this by running Start->Settings->Control Panel->System, selecting the Advanced tab, and then clicking the environment variable button. You must restart the exacqVision Client after making any changes.

It is possible to specify a settings file independent from the operating system user account by using the -I command line parameter. Examples where this might be useful are:
- A regional manager might have several sites to monitor. They could create a Client settings file to connect to all the Servers in Indiana and a second settings file to connect to all the Servers in Ohio. Then, when looking for something in Indiana, the connection process would be faster and there would be fewer servers and cameras to navigate through in the tree.
- A user with Admin permission on several exacqVision Servers might want to connect to them from a Client workstation that does not normally have Admin permission on the Servers. Instead of changing the login credentials through the Add Systems page in the Client, the user could store the settings file on a USB Flash drive and start the exacqVision Client on the workstation pointing to the USB drive’s settings file.

To add this command line parameter into a shortcut, create a shortcut to the exacqVision Client, right-click the shortcut, select Properties, and edit the target field as follows:
“C:\Program Files\exacqVision\Client\edvrclient.exe” -Iuser.xml
Any settings changed during this Client session are stored to the XML file specified on the command line. If the file does not exist at Client startup, it is created automatically. If a path is not specified with the filename, it will be assumed to be in the same directory as the exacqVision Client application

Linux: For Linux the file is located in the Start>places>home folder. Click view at the top and select Show Hidden Files. Open the .edvrclient.dir folder to locate the edvrclient.xml file
<br>
Mac: In Finder, select Go and then Go To Folder. Type /Users/%username%/Library/Application Support/edvrclient/
