HP ThinPro 5.2 - Administrator Guide

12 Using the Prole Editor
HP Smart Client Services contains the Prole Editor, which allows administrators to create ThinPro proles
and upload them to the Automatic Update server.
TIP: In addition to creating a new ThinPro prole, you can edit an existing prole that was exported using
HP ThinState.
A ThinPro prole contains the connections, settings, and customizations that were congured using the
Connection Manager and various Control Panel utilities. A ThinPro prole is saved in a conguration le that is
specic to the version of HP ThinPro in which it was created.
