storage in userprofile (instead of fixed config dir relative to the executable)

[christian-korneck]

hi,

first of all - thanks a lot for cmder - it's close to that dream of a modern Windows shell that wasn't there for ages. Thanks for making this real!

I wonder if there's any option to have one config storage per user (i.e. put the config dir in the user profile or use a per-user registry storage, like the original conemu.exe offers with the "/config" switch)?

For multi-user environments it would be very useful to only have only one read-only copy of the executables (i.e. in %programfiles%) and every user on the system can use it and have separate settings (i.e. with settings stored in the user profile or the HKCU part of the registry).

Best,
Christian

On windows, configuration belongs in the directory specified by the %APPDATA% variable. This is (windows 7 / 8) this directory: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming - but you should rather use the variable, in case the directory is mapped somewhere else.
