Introduction

The Advanced Settings dialog box is used to configure various aspects of ArcPad that may be unique to each user but which are seldom changed. You can access the Advanced Settings dialog box by tapping the Utilities dropdown list, which is located in the Tools drop-down list of the Main toolbar. The Advanced Settings dialog box contains six tabs, which are discussed in detail in this section.

All options available on the Advanced Settings dialog box are saved in the preferences file ArcPadPrefs.apx. Whenever you tap OK on the Advanced Settings dialog box, the preferences file is updated.

ArcPadPrefs.apx is located in the My Documents folder on both PCs and Windows Mobile devices. To restore all the default values to the Advanced Settings dialog box, exit ArcPad, delete or rename the ArcPadPrefs.apx file, then restart ArcPad.
