WinNT/2k/XP have a home directory available here: %USERPROFILE% (in Unix-speak: $USERPROFILE). Therefore a reg key or ini file would only be necessary for Win9x/ME.

Hello all. Not a developer, so make of this what you will, butall this talk of a default directory in Windows makes me wonder why the pd-launcher upon installation doesn't just ask the user for their Pd directory and then store that information in an ini file, or even better, a reg key.

Part of my needs for the launcher is the ability to start multiple configuration sets, not just a single configuration. Can one point PD to using another .pdrc file? (pd -rc c:\windows\profiles\bbogart.pdrc-EMI)
This would be useful for a default configuration... I'm really not sold on the pdrc as a way of storing sets of configs, I think scripts (under linux and OSX) and shortcuts (under windows) is the best way for that, that way the configs are seperate from the laucher program, which only manages (and/or starts PD) the config sets.
