SviMik had a very good point against using %APPDATA%: it is a hidden folder. At least on Windows 7 it seems to be hidden at the filesystem level, because no tools seem to see it. However, doing a cd $HOME\Appdata in Powershell will work, so the directory _is_ there even though it is invisble. I don't think we should put the configuration files into folder people will not find without extra tinkering. -- Samuli Seppänen Community Manager OpenVPN Technologies, Inc irc freenode net: mattock ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Openvpn-devel mailing list Openvpn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-devel
