| Note that even when you are running WinSCP on the same machine as before, just under a different account (including different system account, such as when using Scheduler, SSIS, etc), you may not have the same configuration. By default WinSCP uses account-specific hive of registry to store its configuration, which is not accessible by other accounts. You may want to use [[config|INI file]] instead to ease configuration sharing. | Note that even when you are running WinSCP on the same machine as before, just under a different account (including different system account, such as when using Scheduler, SSIS, etc), you may not have the same configuration.
