I'm not sure if that works on Windows, could try it though. I think the docs for Windows paths need to be improved. >From looking at the code, the system data dir is the installation directory plus 'data', e.g.: C:\Program Files\geany\data For the user config dir you could try Tools->configuration Files->filetype_extensions.conf. The path for that file should be the same as the path to add a 'tags' directory. Let us know how you get on and I'll update the documentation.
