Configure Player Preferences

You can use the Preferences window to set options that affect how the Player functions.

Note: If the Preferences icon does not appear in the Player, your administrator has preset all preferences and has prevented them from being changed.

You can restore the default preference settings by clicking Defaults and then clicking OK to confirm the action.
