Desktop Settings

Does anyone know where the Desktop settings are saved? We are working to make sure they persist on a virtual desktop session and need to know the location. We are assuming somewhere in AppData/Roaming or AppData/Local but we weren't sure.

 

Thanks,

James

  • There is a zip file within AppData

     

    e,g,

    C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\User.zip

     

    It contains a folder and file

    UserInterface\Settings.xml

        No problem.

         

        Slight word of warning. Ensure you don't lock the zip, I had it open with 7-zip and powerbi freaked out a bit as it could access it.

         

  • How do I disable this, when you have Pbix files from other organizations with Sharepoint you always need to delete the folder users to re-connect to the Share Point! FGS!!!
