TopTeam Desktop App saves settings such as Preferences, Bookmarks, Grid Themes, etc. in this folder. This folder is NOT used to store any TopTeam Repository data.

We recommend that you choose Windows Application Data Folder if the Windows user who will be using TopTeam Desktop App does not have Windows Administrator privileges.

To save the settings in the installation or custom folder, the Windows user who will be using TopTeam Desktop App should have Write permissions in that folder.
