Hi Simon, nice to hear from you
I'm not a windows specialist:
neither am I - and proud of it :-)
can you explain me what is the "application's directory" ? Do you mean c:\Program Files\Linphone ?Yes - this is what I mean. While I'm aware that writing into that directory is not a good idea I would like to have it as an alternative directory.
Currently it looks at a config file in c:\Document and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Linphone which appears to be the windows standart path for application's user profiles.Linphone doesn't depend on The Registry - so it could be started from any directory. Some Internet Cafés - like e.g. Easy Everything feature USB sockets for their clients. Having Linphone to look for its configuration in the directory the .exe is in, would allow the user to preconfigure his/her preferred VoIP provider.
One would just save that configuration file along with linphone.exe (and some dll s) on an USB-memory stick and carry it around. That'd be extremely cool as many such cafés have MSN and Yahoo only but webcams.
Greetings from Berlin Conrad

It would make it possible to run a configured Linphone off an USB memory stick which would be extremely cool in all the MSN/Yahoo infested Internet cafés.
