That's a good point.  The software is not large so I haven't been 
converned about it being installed multiple times in separate folders, 
and this was the easiest way to do it.  It's probably only 2% of users 
will ever have more than one installation, so it's not worth spending 
alot of time over it.

Thinaking about it now, it sounds like too much work.  I presume the app 
would have to support a data directory in the command-line so it can be 
loaded multiple times accessing different data.  The registration / 
hardware locking system would have to be completely restructured.  I 
think I'll stick with a Data folder under Program Files.

I don't think there is anything stopping an administrator giving the 
User group modify rights to any folder on the hard drive, is there?

Cheers,
Ross.
