Applying an option set on the local computer
Symantec pcAnywhere lets you maintain multiple option set files to accommodate
unique configuration requirements. For example, if you work in different locations,
you can avoid changing the default settings each time you change locations. Create
an option set for each location, and then apply it when you arrive. When you apply
an option set on the local computer, you override the default preferences in
pcAnywhere.
To apply an option set on the local computer
1
In the pcAnywhere Manager window, on the left navigation bar, click Option
Sets.
2 In the right pane, right-click the option set file that you want to use, and then
click Apply to Local System.
