Notes Client on the Macintosh operating system does not use a NOTES.INI file like it does on Windows powered computers. Instead, it has a Notes Preferences file.
This file is located in the user's home directory From the Finder menu -> Click Go -> Home -> Library -> Preferences
This file is normally "hidden".
First you will need to unhide, then locate it, then edit it like you would a notes.ini file.
1. "Unhide" the Notes Preferences file
Note: The following method makes the user library folder permanently visible.
Launch Terminal: while in Finder -> Go -> Applications > Utilities -> Terminal.
From within Terminal type the following command and press Return:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Enter the system administrator password, if prompted, and press Return.
Close Terminal for the changes to take effect: From the menu bar -> Click Terminal -> Quit Terminal
2. Locate Notes Preferences file
One method of locating the Preferences file is to initiate a 'Find' for "Notes Preferences" from the desktop.
Another method to locate the file
From the Finder menu -> Click Go -> Home -> Library -> Preferences
Scroll down Notes Preferences file
Double-click on it to edit it.
In Notes 7.0.2 (and later) client, the Notes Preferences file is a plain text file. You can double-click it to edit it in the Mac's TextEdit program.
