I was making my bots able to log into different universes, and made a ini
file that may/may not help some people.

I like registry settings better...and they save code!

KAH
PS. But it's a good idea to release it :-))

.... and the entries get lost when you move the application to
a different machine
.... and they stay and make the registry grow when you delete
the application, slows down even after installing/removing.
.... and they do not save code, reading an INI key is one line
of code, not more than reading a registry key.

IMO the registry was one of the most stupid things that M$ did
to prevent people from having control over their applications.

And I heard that the newer programming guidelines of M$ ask the
developers not to use the registry anymore for program internal
settings. Only settings that are needed to access from outside
an application should be held in a registry.

Real operating systems don't have something like that.

Standalone applications should have all their data within one
subdirectory so they don't need an uninstaller. If they have
user created data a second (default-) directory for that is OK.
Especially if the setup stuff is not user dependant.

The only thing that should be entered in a registry is the
place where other applications can find this application and
the command extension, if applicable. It compares to UNIX'
/etc folder.

Registry only, if it really cannot be avoided !

I agree fully with you ananas, the registry is a trash bin full of lost code
and vanished utilities: it can never be cleared properly, even when
uninstalling programs :)
