In the data file settings, various customization information can be saved for the data file used by the "Startup Environment Creation Tool". These include erasing methods, changing the initial value of erasing options, fixing values, and specifying the display page.
The customized information saved in the data file is read when the "Startup Environment Creation Tool" is started, and the customized information becomes effective.

This function is based on the assumption that the system department, etc. will create a data file in which the erasing method etc. are set in advance, and distribute this program together with the data file within the company.
It is possible to establish a unified erasing method within the company and minimize the learning of operations by general users.

* Since it is saved in units of data files, you can use files with different environments properly.
* Unlike the settings in the registry etc., the environment can be realized simply by placing gpset4.exe and customized gpdata.pac on the network drive.



Data file

The currently valid data file is displayed.
The data file used is in the same folder as gpset4.exe or in the [data] folder at the same level as gpset4.exe.

Also, from the command line, it is also possible to specify in the form of,

gpset4.exe / d:[data file]


Options

For the options , see "Common options".
The contents of the set options are saved.


Display page / Initial

You can specify the page to be displayed from the pages of "HDD boot", "CD image", "USB flash", "WinPE file" and "Data file", and hide the other pages.
You can also specify the page ("initial" selection) that will be displayed immediately after starting the program.

For example, if you specify only "HDD boot".


The next time you start up, only "HDD boot" will be displayed as shown below, and you can use it as a program dedicated to embedding in the HDD.



If you do not display the Data File page, you will not be able to change options stored in that data file.
If you uncheck "Data file" and use the settings, the following message will be displayed for confirmation.




To clear the settings of the data file and return it to the initial state, use "Data file" in "Utilities for administrator" /"Operation of each function".


Initial/Fixed value

In the case of "Initial, changeable", only the initial value can be set and the user can freely change the value.
In the case of "Fixed", the value is fixed and cannot be changed by the user.



When "Fixed" is set, the screen display is grayed out as shown below, and the value cannot be changed.




Overwritten by command line

Initial values, fixed values, etc. can be specified in the data file or command line to gpset4.exe.
If you check here, even if the value is set in the data file, if there is a command line specification when executing gpset4.exe, the command line specification has priority.
If unchecked, the value in the data file takes precedence and cannot be changed by command line specification at runtime.

For example, if you do not want to allow the user to change the value of the data file, you can leave it unchecked, and if you want to be able to flexibly change it from the command line each time, you can check it.

Clear values

By checking this and pressing "Execute Write", you can clear the value written in the data file and return it to the initial state.
However, if you hide the "Data file" page, clear it by using "Utilities for administrator" / "operation of each function".

Execute Write

Writes the specified options to the data file. It will be enabled the next time you start the "Startup Environment Creation Tool".
