Adobe Illustrator CC Classroom in a Book (2019 Release), First Edition

1. 
   

   Exit Adobe Illustrator CC.

   
   


2. 
   

   Locate the file named Adobe Illustrator Prefs for macOS as follows:

   
   

<OSDisk>/Users/<username>/Library*/Preferences/ Adobe Illustrator 23

Settings/en_US**/Adobe Illustrator Prefs

3. Locate the file named Adobe Illustrator Prefs for Windows as follows:

<OSDisk>\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 23

Settings\en_US**\x86 or x64\Adobe Illustrator Prefs

Note

On Windows, the AppData folder is hidden by default. You will most likely need to

enable Windows to show hidden files and folders. For instructions, refer to your

Windows documentation.

*On macOS, the Library folder is hidden by default. To access this folder, in the Finder

press the Option key, and choose Library from the Go menu in the Finder.

**The folder name may be different depending on the language version you have installed.

For more information, refer to the Illustrator help:

If you can’t find the file, that’s because either you haven’t started Adobe Illustrator CC yet or

you have moved the preferences file. The preferences file is created after you quit the program

the first time and is updated thereafter.

Tip

To quickly locate and delete the Adobe Illustrator preferences file each time you begin

a new lesson, create a shortcut (Windows) or an alias (macOS) to the Adobe Illustrator

23 Settings folder.

4. 
   

   Copy the file and save it to another folder on your hard disk (if you want to restore those
   preferences) or delete it.

   
   


5. 
   

   Start Adobe Illustrator CC.
