Abstract
A method and system for adding configuration files for a user. The method receives an identification of the user. Then, the method locates user profile information which identifies configuration files, a source folder that contains the configuration files, and a destination folder in which to copy the configuration files. For each identified configuration file, the method copies the configuration file to the appropriate folder or deletes the configuration file from the appropriate folder. The method also stores location information identifying the location of the destination folder. Then a computer program can retrieve the location information and can access the configuration files in the destination folder during configuration of the computer program.
