Hi, i have a Windows XP PRO SP2 computer and i need that when i install the RSSOwl on it, the initial settings (ie. show in windows taskbar, etc) be the same for every user that seats on that machine.
How can i do that?
Thanks

I am not sure for the windows taskbar, but for the Startmenu entry you would have to copy the "RSSOwl" folder from your.name to "All Users" in documents and settings folder.

Thanks Ben what you said it's totally right, but by default when you click on the close button the rssowl closes, it doesn't stays active so i have to go to the preferences menu and select that option for my user and for every user that logs to that PC.
My specific question is, ¿is there a way that i only have to select that option once and it remains for every user of that pc? (Because on that pc i have several users at different times and i don't want to configure the rssowl every time a different user seats on it)
Thanks again for your help.

This FAQ answer should help:
In order to tell RSSOwl in which directory to store settings (profile) you have to execute RSSOwl like this:
"javaw -Duser.home=[Path to Dir] -Djava.library.path=. -jar rssowl.jar"
The [Path to Dir] must point to an existing directory. Windows user are able to use the "-profile [Path to Dir]" parameter to the "rssowl.exe".
Just use the same profile for all users.

Thanks again Ben for your valuable help, but i didn't understand what you're telling me, can you be more explicit? ( Sorry :) )

Change the link to RSSOwl to something like:
"rssowl.exe -profile C:/rssowl"
and put that into the account that is visible for all users, e.g. "Documents and Settings / All Users".
This call will force RSSowl to save settings into C:/rssowl so that you can share settings for all users.
