HFSS15: Example for Reverting from a User Defined Option Value to the Admini

Consider the case in which HFSS 14.0 was installed and the administrator initially did not set a value for the Desktop/Settings/ProjectOptions/DiskLimitForAbort setting in the default installation config file. User jsmith (who always uses host jshost) wanted to be warned before disk space dropped to zero, so he set the Desktop/Settings/ProjectOptions/DiskLimitForAbort to 100 MB using the UI. This setting is recorded in the host dependent user options config file for host jshost and user jsmith. Now the administrator learns that many users are running into disk space issues, so that administrator sets the installation default value for the setting Desktop/Settings/ProjectOptions/DiskLimitForAbort to 1000 MB, as in the above example.

When user jsmith runs HFSS 14.0 on host jshost, the disk limit is 100 MB, not 1000 MB, because the host dependent user options config file overrides all of the other config files. User jsmith may revert to the administrator provided default by removing this setting from the host dependent user options config file for host jshost and user jsmith. The following command may be run by user jsmith on host jshost to remove this setting:

UpdateRegistry -Delete -ProductName HFSS14.0
-RegistryKey Desktop/Settings/ProjectOptions/DiskLimitForAbort -RegistryLevel user_machine

If user jsmith had added a value for this setting to the host independent user options config file, then user jsmith would also run the following command to remove this setting from the host independent user options config file:

UpdateRegistry -Delete -ProductName HFSS14.0
-RegistryKey Desktop/Settings/ProjectOptions/DiskLimitForAbort
-RegistryLevel user
