1. I don't like this, for the same reasons as you
2. I prefer to avoid the user profile as we sometimes have to delete it when
settings become corrupt.
3. As above for 2. HKEY_CURRENT_USER is unique for every user but is stored
in the user profile.
4. Possible as long as you don't need to specify any options before you
connect to the database.
My current preference is a .ini file stored in each users home directory.

Options.....
1. A .ini file located in the Windows folder. For some reason this irks me
as I there are so many other places that MS wants you to stick stuff besides
the main OS folder. It seems so Windows 3.1.
2. The <User Profile>/Local Settings folder can't be used I understand as it
doesn't get stored by Citrix.
3. The registry is a big no-no as everyone uses the same one. A least for
the main HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key. But how about the HKEY_CURRENT_USER or
some other main key? I wouldn't think so since the Window 'current user' is
the Citrix machine login, right?
4. An application database table that stores all this stuff. At least that
way the settings would follow them around if they used different terminals,
er...PCs (sorry, couldn't resist). A little overkill perhaps but maybe not
so bad since most internal apps need a DB connection anyway to run.
I guess I am leaning toward #4. What do you guys think? Is there any other
way to do this stuff?

What is the Citrix recommended way of storing personal, unique application
settings per user when running a Citrix app? Is a .ini file in the Windows
folder the only way?
For example, these are for like dialogs that have a checkbox on them that
say something like a "Don't ask me this again" type of question. Where do I
store that they checked this?
Any answers to these would be helpful.
