Exit Bar AutoLoad

How do you get the Exit Bar to Auto Load when users log on? JDE says something relative to the INI file but does not have specific info...Jde comments were this:

In past inquiries to development about the line in the jde.ini for the
PWndLocation and the settings on this line and what they represent, we
received the following response. The information for Exit Bar settings is
stored in the PWndLocation line in the jde.ini. This line stores
preferences in an undocumented manner and it is not recommended that the
client try to deploy these settings. If they do try to deploy settings
using this line, it is without the support of JDE and the settings could
change in any future Service Pack release. By design, Exit Bar settings are
based on the user, not the ini file setting. The settings for this line and
what each of them represent is not information that is available and is for
internal use by the OneWorld system/kernel code. Therefore, the settings
can and do change between service packs.

Our assistance in GSS with this issue is limited to just informing customers
that this line does indicate to the system if the exit bar is on/off and
generally copying it from one workstation to another does not result in a
problem and will allow the exit bar to display by default if that was the
setting on the source workstation.

This doesn't seem to work....Please help.
 
RHoffman,

We use the line: PWndLocation=66,66,551,655,327681 in the[INTERACTIVE RUNTIME] section of our jde.ini file for client installs to force the Exit Bar to be activated by default. We've been doing this since Jan., 2002 with no problems. You'll need to make this change in the jde.ini file on your deployment server in the ...JDEdwardsOneWorld\B7333\OneWorld Client Install\Misc directory (or the analogous directory for your environment).

FYI, you can also include the following section and entries in the same jde.ini file if you want the environment and user ID to auto-fill the first time OneWorld is started after a new client install:
[SIGNON]
LASTENV=PD7333 (or whatever environment you want)
LASTUSER=USER1 (or whatever user you want)
