Where does the Exit Bar value live? JDE.ini?

Everytime we deploy a package our users have to re-enable the exit bar. I was assuming that their JDE.ini may be overwritten in this process and the value that turns the exit bar on/off is inside of this file. I'm just not finding it though...

E1 8.10/SQL/NT

Thanks
 
The Exit Bar switch is encoded into the PWndLocation key in the [Interactive Runtime] section of the JDE.INI

Here is an example of my fat client (8.12) with exit bar and type ahead on:
PWndLocation=44,45,1004,605,262145

and off:
PWndLocation=44,45,1004,605,1

The values are some sort of bit-switched logic. The 5th number in the series carries the exit bar and type ahead settings.

If you search for PWndLocation here on the list you will see various tips. The values seem to change depending on E1 release. I usually play with the various settings and figure out the values for each combination of exit bar, type ahead settings on a particular install.

Take a look at solution ID 200802511 on the Customer Connection for some ideas on how to manage these settings between package builds.
