You can change your preferences at any time. Keep in mind that preferences affect only your computer. They are not stored in the tournament directory and are not copied to other computers when you copy the tournament.

| To set identical preferences on all tournament computers, set the preferences on one computer, and then copy the preferences file diprefs.xml to all other computers. This file is located in different directories, depending on the version of Windows being used. |

Or click the Set Preferences button in the toolbar, or press Ctrl+P.
