Preventing configuration changes

Saving BlueZone configuration changes: By default, your users can save configuration changes to their BlueZone emulation clients to their local workstations.

When using the default value, BlueZone automatically saves any configuration changes made by the user, such as screen size, color, font selection, keyboard mapping, and so on, to a file located on the user's workstation in the BlueZone working directory.

When Allow User to Save Changes Locally = Enabled and Base Registry Mode = 2 (default)

If the BlueZone administrator makes a change to a configuration file, saves the new file to the web server, and increments BlueZone’s Version Control Feature, the next time the user launches the associated session, BlueZone Web-to-Host will push out the updated configuration file to the user and BlueZone will launch using this updated configuration file. If the user does not want to use the settings contained in this new configuration file, the user can do a File → Open from the BlueZone menu bar and open a previously saved configuration file or the Backup of version of their configuration file.

When Allow User to Save Changes Locally = Enabled and Base Registry Mode = 0 or 1

If the BlueZone administrator makes a change to a configuration file, saves the new file to the web server, and increments BlueZone’s version control feature, the next time the user launches the associated session, BlueZone Web-to-Host will push out the updated configuration file to the user but will be ignored by the BlueZone emulation client.

When Allow User to Save Changes Locally = Disabled and Base Registry Mode = 2

BlueZone will not allow the user to save any configuration changes. The Save and Save As options in the File menu on the BlueZone menu bar will be disabled. This mode is desirable if you do not want your users to be able to make any permanent changes to the BlueZone emulation client configuration.

When Allow User to Save Changes Locally = Disabled and Base Registry Mode = 0 or 1

BlueZone will not save any configuration changes into the Windows Registry, nor will the user be able to save their BlueZone configuration to a file. The Save and Save As options in the File menu on the BlueZone menu bar will be disabled. This mode is desirable if you do not want your users to be able to make any permanent changes to the BlueZone emulation client configuration.
