The properties file is an important file that exists so that ZPE has an idea of how to run. ZPE will install a properties file upon install in the user's home directory assuming that one does not already exist.
To find the exact location of the properties file, run the -h ZAC with the config argument. The output should look something like below:
Console

From this output, it is clear what each of the properties are for the engine, and changing them is as simple as opening the properties file in a text editor and modifying the key and value pairs.
