i would suggest some subfolder of the windows folder. e.g SYSTEM, there are about 1000 to 2000 files, so one more or less won't make the difference :-) -> specialfolderpath(system) & "SYSTEM" And it is unlikely that average pc-user will ever take a look in that folder. (It is frightening for a power-user, too ;-) Hint: Give your file a strange name like "iso_443_ad_tz.ini"... Know what i mean ? ;-) BTW: to be used in MC, text-files do not have to have the extension .txt !!! Take .ini or .prf. Might also prevent users from doubleclicking that file. Hope that helps.
