But that is a folder then. Go put your config-file & program in a folder, and copy it. >> >> Seriously: Who is going to copy a executable around? > Obviously I am. :D > Do you know of any >> other program that behaves like that? > No, but for most programs I used I never bothered to check where did > they put their settings. > That's just the thing, I'm not a professional programmer so I was > wondering is it possible to do it, and if it is how much trouble would > it be.

Now moving your program somewhere else makes that a wrong config option - and possibly your program crashes even before you have the chance to _change_ that config setting. Now you need either a fresh copy - or just edit/delete the config file. The latter sounds better to me - and most probably quite a few others programmers.
