    This tip shows you how to create a shortlist of commonly used projections, to save you from navigating through menu's to find the correct projection!
  1. In Window's Explorer navigate to the "MapInfo" installation folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)MapInfo\Professional\)
  2. Open the "MAPINFO.PRJ" file in a text editor
  3. Create a heading name: e.g.
    "--- Commonly Used Projections ---"
  4. Add commonly used projections from the list of projections (by copying and pasting, NOT moving)
  5. Save the file. You may need to be an administrator to save to program files, alternatively it can be saved elsewhere and copied into the correct directory.
  6. You should now have your very own projections list.
