Config Creator — CS4OutlookDefaultUserConfig

The CS4OutlookDefaultUserConfig.xml can be used to preconfigure Cryptshare for Outlook (Classic). If the CS4OutlookDefaultUserConfig is created with the Cryptshare for Outlook (Classic) Config Creator and placed in the program directory, the add-in will use the config file to set all or a certain part of the settings.

The CS4OutlookDefaultUserConfig must be placed in the installation folder of Cryptshare for Outlook (Classic). In addition, the validity date of the configuration file must be later than that of an already existing one in order to be prioritized.

See Configure: CS4OutlookDefaultUserConfig for a variable config description in detail.
