In network environments it may be desirable or necessary to change the location where the SuperNova or Dolphin Screen Reader settings files are located.

Introduction
To enable the software to be configured to meet the users individual needs any changes made to the default settings are saved to a number of files in a settings folder. In certain circumstances the location of the settings folder may need to be changed.
Location of Settings
By default any changes to the SuperNova settings are saved in the following location:
%userprofile%\ AppData\Local\dolphin\[prod][ver] \Settings
Where [prod] represents the product name and [ver] represents the product version. For example, SuperNova Magnifier & Screen Reader version 21.03 settings are saved in the \..\SnovaSuite2103\Settings folder.
Change settings for a single user
If you would like to update the path to the settings for a single you need to carry out the following steps:
1. Launch the registry editor (Windows Key + R, regedit.exe)
2. Create the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Dolphin\Supernova2103
*You must modify the version number to match the version installed, for example, the key must be Supernova2103 if you have SuperNova Magnifier & Screen Reader version 21.03 installed.3. Create an expandable string value in the above key called “Settings”.
4. Set the value data to be the folder location, for example, H:\Settings or %USERPROFILE%\SnovaSettings
Change settings location for multiple users
If you would like to update settings location in a network environment or for a multiple user machine you can change the behaviour of SuperNova so that it checks for the Settings path in the HKLM branch of the registry. To configure the settings in a multi user environment you need to carry out the following steps:
1. Launch the SuperNova Enterprise Configuration tool (enterpriseconfig.exe in the SuperNova program files directory by default C:\Program Files (x86)\Dolphin\SnovaSuite2103.
2. Navigate to the Features tab and select the "Enable HKLM Settings", then OK to apply the change.
3. Create one of the following keys
x86 OS: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Dolphin\Supernova2103
x64 OS: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Dolphin\Supernova2103
*You must modify the version number to match the version installed, for example, the key must be Supernova2103 if you have SuperNova Magnifier & Screen Reader version 21.03 installed.
4. Create an expandable string value called “Settings”.
5. Set the value data to be the folder location, for example, H:\Settings or %USERPROFILE%\SnovaSettings
