I'm almost sure you have Windows Vista as OS on your computer.
The settings aer stored in the Yaxcam installation directory, but Windows Vista just give read & execute rights in the "C:\Program Files\[Yawcam_installation_directory]".

On my WindowsXP machine i found the settings file named yawcam_settings.xml.
Here is the contant as example :

Code: Select all

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
- <java version="1.6.0_04" class="java.beans.XMLDecoder">
- <object class="yawcam.SettingsHolder">
- <void property="conPublicIP">
  <string>91.176.222.44</string> 
  </void>
- <void property="file_int">
  <int>3000</int> 
  </void>
- <void property="file_path">
  <string>c:\temp\image{10000}.jpg</string> 
  </void>
- <void property="firstTime">
  <boolean>false</boolean> 
  </void>
- <void property="pos_main">
- <object class="java.awt.Point">
  <int>277</int> 
  <int>411</int> 
  </object>
  </void>
- <void property="pos_prev">
- <object class="java.awt.Point">
  <int>306</int> 
  <int>5</int> 
  </object>
  </void>
  </object>
  </java>
