DEFSET

DEFSET application is a small and simple tool designed to manage default printer selections on a per user basis. This tool is suited to users accessing a Terminal Server/ Citrix session and is designed to retain a users default printer choice. DEFSET allows the user to change their default printer during program execution, and writes this information to an ini file located in the users individual windows directory. This information is then used to remember the selected the default printer for later sessions.
The program should be run at startup, allowing a user to set their default printer. The program can then be minimised to the system tray, and opened at any time to change the default printer. If a new printer has been added during the last access of DEFSET, the program will refresh the set of available printers, allowing a user to select it from the list.
This utility was written for environments where the printer list may change due to system policies or location settings, and the retention of printer choice is regularly lost. Ideally the program should be placed in the startup folder of a users profile to ensure it is run at the beginning of a session. Defset uses a file, defset.ini which gets stored in %windir%windows, or %userprofile%windows if the user hasnt got a home directory defined. If defset is run on login or start up, it will read defset.ini to make sure you get the
same default printer each time.
