The .bat file worked, and while the environment variable is smoothest for me, the .bat file will be great for my boss. (He's great, but has no time or patience for these things.) I telecommute too far away to set this up for him, so I'm hoping to put together a TrueCrypt volume with everything he needs in it, ready for him to just mount the volume and run Pidgin - from the .bat file I'll include. One problem I ran into, however, was that Vista wouldn't allow me to either move or delete the .purple file (copy worked). I have admin rights and approved in uac. It just repeatedly asked me to try again. I'll probably wind up uninstalling and starting over, which is fine, but is there a switch to install it so it puts his .purple file in the T:\.purple directory to begin with?
