Abstract
In multi-user operating systems, set-up files that are present locally have to be processed each time a user logs in at a computer, in order to undertake settings at the computer which optimally configure the further operating of the user using his user programs. If an update of a user program is now fed in, it is also necessary to change the associated set-up file. This change to a set-up file is now carried out on a net-wide basis and automatically on the basis of the set-up mechanism.
