  1. Open the VirtuaWin Setup Dialog.

  • Make any change so that the Apply button becomes active and press it.

  • Undo your change and press the Apply button again.

  • In the Setup Dialog got to the Expert tab and click on Explore Config, then click on Ok to close the setup dialog.

  • Exit VirtuaWin.

  • In the Explorer window opened in step 2 locate the virtuawin.cfg file and open this in a text editor (such as notepad).

  • Locate the line which starts '<option-name># ', this will typically be near the bottom of the file. If the option cannot be found you most likely using an earlier version of VirtuaWin.

  • Change the text to the right of the '<option-name># ' marker to your required new value and save the file.
