Thanks.

BTW, it might be good to update ConfigFile() as well for Windows to be more compliant with Windows path used for application.

Instead of using the EXE directory.

return GetExeDirFile(file);

We can store config file in the "Application Data" Windows directory that belong to the user.

String p = GetHomeDirFile("Application Data\\" + GetExeTitle());
static bool b;
if(!b) {
	RealizeDirectory(p);
	b = true;
}
return AppendFileName(p, file);

Regards,
Benoit

Sure, I was thinking about it too, however, I feel like for most applications in win32 (at least for those I sell to my customers), keeping .cfg in exedir leads to much simpler maintenance (uninstall? delete the folder. broken .cfg? you know where to find it). But perhaps it could be some flag switching the behaviour, with exedir as default?
