we operate a printshop. several terminals (winvista+ms-steadystate). set up from 1 image.
lots of users and files daily. when a user leaves a terminal and quits adobe reader, strangley on some(!) terminals the next user inherits his print settings.
unfavourable – as some use 2×2 n-Up + duplex.
no "speedlauncher" running in the background. no process to keep a lock on values in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\AVGeneral
they read what the last user left in his print dialog
on staff pcs (winxp) with acrobat standard(8) the application defaults when it gets closed.
is this a reader problem, or windows print /or ms steadystate related?
default on application close -> wishful behaviour

To me it's not clear if it only the Adobe Reader print settings that are remembered, or all the system-wide defaults. If it is the former, and Adobe Reader stores it in the registry, you could try write-protecting that registry key. Hopefully reader will silently ignore the resulting write error.
