Most AB Tutor Controls settings (including policies and groups etc.) are stored in a file called ABControl.xml.   Under XP this file is located in the folder in which AB Tutor Control was installed, in Vista you'll find this file in c:\program data\abconsulting\ab tutor control.  After you have configured one Tutor Control program you can copy this file to other Tutor Control installations so you don’t need to re-enter all the settings each time. 

Shared Configuration Files

By using a command line parameter you can specify where the ABControl.xml file is located. This allows you to save the file on a shared network drive so all Tutor Control programs can use the same file.

Syntax: -p <path to file>

or /p <path to file>

E.g: C:\Program Files\ABControl\ABControl.exe -p n:\shared

We recommend you protect this file from being changed inadvertently by other Tutor Control programs and that only the network administrators have control over the settings. Make the file Read Only by using normal NTFS security. Also, for security reasons, only allow known teachers access to this network folder.

    When doing it as a shortcut on a desktop, add the parameter after the " marks.
