Door #2. I'll check out XmlConfigurator.Configure.

I looked at the ConfigFile attribute and the <appSettings> keys to move the location of the configuration file. I have Terminal Server users, so I'd really need to put the config somewhere user specific. I think under %appData% would be best, but I can't get the ConfigFile attribute or <appSettings> to work with that. Is there a way to point the config to %appData%? Is there a better way to change logging severity? Thanks
