Tip: This page should be linked to whenever an article references user settings so the same steps of how to get there can avoid being repetitively included.

The "SecondLife" user settings folder is where, obviously enough, your settings are stored. This folder in turn includes folders such as:

• logs - Diagnostic logs which can help when troubleshooting.
• firstname_lastname - Chat logs, login screens, and other stuff is stored in a folder with your Second Life account name. For example, for a Resident named Abby Avatar, this folder would be named abby_avatar.
• browser_profile - Web browser cache and related stuff.
• cache - Viewer cache.
• user_settings - Your preferences. The main file is settings.xml, although if you have multiple Viewers, they may also use this folder. For example, if you use Snowglobe, you may see a file named settings_snowgloberelease.xml.
• user_settings/windlight - Where custom sky & water settings are stored. Learn more.
