      Description:
      Problem
      You have deployed the Notes client under Windows XP. The keyview.ini file is located in the program directory, which means that it is read-only. Therefore the [General] section of keyview.ini cannot be updated and the View option does not work.

      Solution
      This issue was reported to Quality Engineering as SPR# MKAE5Y7B2U as an enhancement request to allow keyview.ini to be writable and located in the Notes client data folder by default. However, there are no plans to address it.

      Supporting Information:
      Although you cannot have the keyview.ini file located by default anywhere except the program directory, you can use a notes.ini parameter which will allow you to move the viewer to the directory of your choice:

      ViewerConfigFile=

      Information regarding the parameter ViewerConfigFile=:

      * You can place the viewer configuration file anywhere rename it as long as you supply the complete path and file name. For example:
      ViewerConfigFile=D:\MyDirectory\MyViewer.ini.

      * When present in notes.ini, the value will override the default setting, even if it is wrong or an empty string.

      * When you do not want to use the variable, comment it out by placing a semicolon at the beginning of the line.

      * When not present, the default location is the Notes Program Directory (specifically where kvvapi.dll is installed) and the default file name is keyview.ini.

      If the viewer configuration file can not be located, the user will see this error message:
      "Unable to locate the viewer configuration file".
