Quick Config is a software program designed for users who work regularly in different computing environments. It can be used to create computer profiles that can be activated with one click of the mouse button. These computer profiles contain computer environment specific configurations that the computer user would have to setup manually otherwise.

  1. Mike says:

    Will it work for a non-admin account? Could it be configured to give a pick-list of profiles and simply applied by a ‘Limited User’

    • Intelloware says:

      QC will work for a non-admin account if you choose during installation to install “Quick Config Service”. This service applys settings which required admin access rights.

  2. This seem really handy for companies. Do you know if this will work across a Network by anychance?

    the portable version doesn’t work fine in my XP (and some other user); maybe some problem with fonts and language. ithe interface displays only “?” characters instead of normal fonts.
