Is there a way to "hide" specific menu choices so that other users cannot make changes in Audition 2.0? Specifically the "Audio Hardware Setup", in I believe the "Edit" menu. The pc is running XP SP3.

Thank you.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

No there isn't. On a multi-access machine, individual users can store their own default program options, but there's no way to prevent them either doing this, or modifying them.

The only thing that you can do I think (if you are clever) would be to force a situation where when the program reloaded after being closed down, your own settings xml files were reinstated, which would at least restore the defaults you'd set. This is slightly different from what would happen if you just deleted these settings files, which would result in Adobe's defaults being reinstated rather than yours. But you'd have to arrange this yourself and whilst I'm sure that there's a way of doing this, I'm not sure quite what it is.

There is a specific problem with the audio hardware setup though - and that's that to an extent, the way it behaves is machine-dependent. If, for instance, you use an external sound device and this becomes disconnected, then the prescribed internal device (if there is one) becomes the new default - no intervention from the user required at all.

Steve,

Thank you for the response. I think I can at least save the working profile and restore it when needed. Do you know off hand the file name for the profile?

Thank you.

What you need to do is back up the .xml settings (Audition_settings.xml and Effect_settings.xml) that are here:

C:\Documents and Settings\{user name}\Application Data\Audition\2.0
