There are one or two files in that directory for each login account that used Brady Workstation.  These files save the default or last used object settings used by whoever used any Brady Workstation app while logged into the PC.

• [UserLoginName].DefaultProperties.bin
• [UserLoginName].Settings.xml

 

In Brady Workstation, the settings that a user sets are saved each session, replacing their previous settings and will be used as default settings until they change any of those settings. These include any object settings such as: font size, barcode symbology, line count, last selected printer etc.
 

1. Close the Brady Workstation software.
   
2. Open File Explorer, navigate to C:\ProgramData\Brady Corp\Brady Workstation\CommonData\Users Settings.
3. Delete all files within the Users Settings folder.
4. Restart Brady Workstation.
   
   This resolves many different software performance issues.
