Note: the site.prf file is meant only to sit in the same hard disk directory as sfschlr.exe (typically C:\SFSCHLR or C:\Program Files\SFSCHLR). It is not meant to be executed, and it does not belong in the Start Menu shortcut folder for SciFinder Scholar.
Please allow other UC researchers to use this resource by minimizing connect time and logging out as soon as searches are completed.
