Is configuration specific per user or per machine?

So I have a room where there are three PCs with DisplayFusion on them.

I have a set of nine employees. Any particular employee can log into any one of these three PCs for work.

Because the triggers (for some multimonitor profiles and window positions) are unique PER PC, I need for the configuration for a particular DisplayFusion installation to be the same for all the users - logging into a particular PC.

What I'm trying to avoid is having to set up DisplayFusion individually per user per pc. I need some sort of loading for a machine specific DisplayFusion configuration instead of it trying to load something based on Windows Domain roaming profiles.

Otherwise creating three configurations per user and then keeping them SYNCED as time goes on will be a nightmare.

If this isn't possible then we're just going to have to used a shared local account on the pc so the DisplayFusion settings don't change.

The configuration is indeed per-user. All of the settings are stored in the registry at this location:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Binary Fortress Software\DisplayFusion

You could potentially save a reference configuration on the machine and then use a local logon script to import it for each user when they login, something like this: https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/deploying-customized-settings-to-all-users-on-a-single-machine/?ID=fb7b77eb-7997-4e1b-b91e-0dff1bc1900c#first

Hopefully that helps, please let me know if you have any further questions at all.

Keith - I have to get with our domain admins to make changes to group policy. I will work on this and get back to you on this thread. Thank you!
