both sasuser.profile and the sas registry hold config info. Both are in the sasuser folder. Check that you are fixing the location of sasuser. (and not just relative to the current folder) Customisation stored in the registry can be "externalised" neatly with proc registry export='my_reg.txt'; run; Then your customisation can be loaded for review, into any text editor, or use proc fslist file='my_reg.txt'; run; These can be re-loaded (as in autoexec ) with proc registry import='my_reg.txt'; run; (so long as you are in the same start-up folder ( you don't need to define the path )

good luck Peter Crawford

Thanks, Peter. Nearly.

Every *other* time I launch SAS, it has the settings I want. I've also got an autoexec.sas file, and a modified sasv8.cfg. It's not clear why settings are or aren't being kept. I don't see the config file itself being visibly changed.

Is SAS still storing its user configs in sasuser.profile? Any handy way to check what settings are, snapshot the catalog, or diff it (working with catalogs has always been a bit of a black art for me).

...or is SAS using the <shudder> system registry?

Thanks.
