				| Hi, 
 In which location we place property files and configuration files related to application. It should read those files in run-time.
 user.home folder means which folder it refers in our local.
 
 In windows XP we used to place property files and configuration files in c:\documents and settings\ administrator folder.
 
 Now I'm using Windows 7 and broker version also 7.
 
 Thanks for you help.

 Is the requirement really to read files in runtime?
 Or access properties?
 There may be better alternatives for accessing properties than reading files.

 Don't do this in WMBv7. Or any version of WMB/IIB.
 
 My worthy associate is quite right in this.

				| Aside from being inelegant, reading config files in the flow will impact performance unncessarily, unless you developed a form of caching. 
 UDPs are commonly used for runtime properties, I have also seen User Configurable Service definitions used.
 
 Sometimes it's possible to actually avoid the need for environment overrides in the flow (for example with the use of the MQSI_FILENODES_ROOT_DIRECTORY variable).
