Learning Maple: Creating a Maple Initialization file (maple.ini)

Topics: How to create a maple.ini file in Windows
A Maple initialization file (maple.ini) is useful to make sure that certain commands are always executed before other Maple commands are executed. For me, I like to set the thickness of the lines in a plot to be wider and make all plots smaller. Below is my maple.ini file which resides in the Maple2023\Users subdirectory.
--------------------------------------------------------------
# This is the text file version of the initialization file which is automatically executed
# every time a new worksheet or document is created in Maple.
#
# For Windows:
# rename the file as maple.ini and save in the folder: C:\Program_Files\Maple2022\Users
# Note, you may have to create the folder "Users" to save it.
#
# For Mac:
# rename file .mapleinit and place it the users home directory, for example:
# $HOME/.mapleinit
#
# For more details, see help: worksheet, reference, initialization

# Changing the line thickness
plots:-setoptions(thickness = 2):

# change the default image size of a 2d and 3d plot
plots:-setoptions(size = [325, 275]):
plots:-setoptions3d(size = [350, 300]):

# Change the number if digits displayed after the decimal point
interface(displayprecision = 5):

# Change the working directory to the desktop
if currentdir() = "C:\\Program Files\\Maple 2023" then
currentdir("C:\\Users\\profg\\Desktop"):
end if:
