Removal of Power User Requirements for Using AutoCAD Land Desktop
Locating AutoCAD Land Desktop 2009 Customized Files
Locate Data Link Files
In AutoCAD Land Desktop 2004 and continuing in AutoCAD Land Desktop 2009, the location of some of the customized files has changed to allow for:
- Limited user rights on a workstation. You can run AutoCAD Land Desktop as a limited user. This means that you no longer need power user or Administrator permissions to run AutoCAD Land Desktop once it is installed.
- Roaming
profiles. Roaming profiles allow you to log on to any
computer within a network and retain your user settings. Some files,
such as your personal settings and documents, follow you from computer
to computer, while other files, such as templates (including Publish
to Web templates), reside only on your system.
If roaming profiles are allowed on your network, your “roamable” files are located in the \Application Data\Autodesk\<Product Version> folder, and your “nonroamable” files are located in the \Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\<Product Version> folder.
NoteIn some
operating systems, the folders that are located under your profile are
hidden by default. To display these files, you may need to change
your display settings. On the Start menu, click Control Panel 
Folder
Options. In the Folder Options dialog box, on the View tab, click
