Curtis,
Thanks for the tip. I looked in my system environment variables and did not
find that variable, so I created one and set it to where I wanted it.
However, ImageJ still gives me the same message on close. I even went
through the registry and removed any mention of the nonexistent user
profile, still get the same issue.
Any ideas?

Try setting the environment variable IJ_PREFS_DIR to your directory of
choice.

Hello,
I've got a weird problem I'm hoping can be solved.
Upon closing out of ImageJ, I get an error saying that the ij_prefs.txt
file cannot be found. The reason for this is it is looking in a user
profile that does not exist, not my own. The user it is looking in has
never even logged onto the machine, so I don't know where it is getting
that path from.
Furthermore, having the preferences in any user profile at all will be an
issue along the road, since I am installing the program for a computer
image to deploy to multiple computers. Ideally, I'd like to put the
preference file into another folder altogether.
Is there any way to change this?
Thanks,
Katie Nance
