[Peter2]

The Command Line Switch Reference "/c" ....

specifies the folder location of the configuration file. If ...

That's all the same for Acad 2014 - 2016, but in 2016 it is described as "obsolete".

If it's obsolete, then why is it described?
Or what exactly is obsolete?

Thanks

For software development it is a good habit to not delete obsolete functions, but mark them as obsolete or deprecated. People who use these functions can change their software or configurations without being confronted with errors.

Mostly obsolete functions will be deleted in time.

Thanks for the explanation.

BTW: The start icons uses switches which are not documented in "Command Line Switch Reference": /product and /language

Yes - that's the bitter bill: the info is spreaded more and more (local help, online help, knowledge base, blogs, ...) 

Thanks for your help, huiz.
