I think both should be there. The xml files in the lazarus directory are the default files, the files in AppData are the user settings. > The other question, moving to AppData I can understand, particularly on > Vista, but you have moved all files under the current user.

When installing Lazarus with an installer, it comes with a default set that is equal for all users, initially. Thanks for the feedback. I don't have Vista and am running under an account with administrator privileges on windows XP, so I really welcome all input.
