On Windows there is no home ($HOME) so I have created a $COOT_HOME (*)
from where everything is read in. $COOT_HOME is the WinCoot installation
directory (i.e. the same as COOT_PREFIX in the batch file). So e.g.
".coot.py" can be there as is the .coot-preferences directory.
Note: a '.coot' file will be ignored here as scheme is currently not
enabled on windows. So you always have to use pythonic syntax.
Hope this helps,

(*) to avoid conflict with cygwin installations
Hello,
Possibly this has already been answered in the past but does anybody
know where to change default settings on Coot installed on Windows 7?
I'd like to avoid it nagging me about old coot-state files and also have
it display C-aplha trace by default when I load PDB files.
I tried playing around with a .coot file in my home directory but that
seems to be ignored whenever I start up wincoot.
Many thanks,
Rob
