As of version 10, all settings for <strong>QlikView</strong> are saved in a file instead of written to the registry. The file, Settings.ini,<br />

is located in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\QlikTech\<strong>QlikView</strong> on Windows<br />

Settings\username\Application Data\QlikTech\<strong>QlikView</strong>.<br />

The settings for <strong>QlikView</strong> OCX are found in the same file.<br />
