Sorry, John, but that make no sense to me. What you are implying is that either each computer reads the same value from the file but does something different with it, or that the value isn't in the file at all and that each computer does its own default setting...

I use XML files for system configuration day in/day out - I have never experienced a situation where two computers read diffeent values from the same XML node on the same file - whats in the file is what gets read, however I could accept that a specific machine uses the value in a different way due to other configuration items.
