It's just the beginning, I intend to do much better (such as storing the

installations...).

Mahogany doesn't create $HOME/.M under Windows, it uses another directory
(currently its current one but this is wrong and should be changed). Also,
it doesn't put all default values in ~/.M/config because this would make
for a huge file.

This is not supported under Windows, you can set up the global (i.e. for
all users) config only by creating the values under HKLM registry hive.

I thought I had fixed this... Do you remember what I replied to you the
last time about this?

It shouldn't be necessary to have $HOME, I think this should be a choice
in the installation program or the initial wizard. If you choose to use a
config file it should simply store its name in the registry and, if this
value is present, use it on the subsequent runs.
