![RobotWorkshop](https://forums.parallax.com/uploads/userpics/915/nCTRZ4MIBWKDB.jpg)
Hello,
Does anyone happen to know where the SX-Key software stores its preferences and settings like the size and location of the window on the screen? I have run into an odd issue where I may need to manually fix some of the values.
Lately i've been doing a lot of editing using a laptop. When I am at my desk I normally have a larger LCD panel connected as a second display. The problem comes up if I had been using the SX-Key software on the second monitor and then later am mobile with and try to launch the SX-Key software. It thinks it was on the second monitor and I haven't found a way to bring it back over to the main one. As long as I remember to bring it back over to the main screen before shutting down it isn't a problem. Otherwise I have to re-connect it to a monitor to move it back to the main screen. If the settings are just in an INI file or in the registry I can edit them or make a small batch file to fix it before launching the program.
So, would these settings be in the registry or an INI file? Any idea where they are? At the moment i'm just looking for ones related to the application window location and size.

All preferences, etc, are stored in the registry under:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ParallaxInc\SX-Key\2.0
Just look for the keys that end in "Window", such as "DebugWindow" and you'll find your entry.
