At the first startup of PowerConnect, PowerConnect takes the default values (stored in the Program Files). When you work with PowerConnect, you will customize these settings along the way. These changes are stored in a set of files in the folder ‘PowerConnect’ in ‘My Documents’. Each version gets its folder.
At every start and shut off of PowerConnect these files are called / completed. However, sometimes something goes wrong in these files causing PowerConnect not to work properly.
