I had an older version of UMS installed, which I was never able to get to run perfectly with my xbox, but didn't have any major problems. When it came out, I updated to 5.5.0, and did a fresh install. I changed the maximum bandwidth setting, shared folders settings, and a few other check boxes here and there. Since the update, I don't see the option to save my changes. I've tried quitting and restarting, and it looks like the changes are saved, but if I shut down the computer, or someone else in the family logs into their profile it wipes out my changes, and runs the configuration wizard.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what it is. The kicker is since updating to 5.5.0, UMS runs great with my xbox... except that it won't save my changes. Hopefully someone can point out what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance!

UNS keeps the configuration in memory and save it when you quit. The configuration is saved at slightly different locations depending on platform. Under Windows the default location is "%programdata%\UMS", on Linux is it "~/.config/UMS" (user dependent). You can override this location by launching UMS with the arguments "profile <profile path>". By using that, you can place the configuration exactly where you want, and create a shortcut/start script dictating the location. The user Running UMS must have write access to the configuration folder, or nothing will be logged or saved.
