&gt; before the last line in the file. Change 'home' to 'work' or 'school'
&gt; depending on the location you want to use. To revert back to global settings
&gt; you have to delete the line.

Thanks for the quick answer!
This seems to work. I'l have to add, however, that it seems one needs to close BOINC before making this change. I first tried it while BOINC was running and restarted it afterwards, but it seems to overwrite any changes at program end.

Hi,

I have just installed BOINC and CP on my home and work machines.
How do I tell the client to use the Home/Work preferences set instead of the default preferences?

Thanks,

Schobi
