David, Not sure if you are talking about the same files I mentioned but Protel does definitely write to the .ini and .rcs files in the Windows directory. That is where they store all of their configuration and options details for each particular functional module, i.e. schematic, pcb, router, synthesis, etc.. Just run a search for *99SE.* and you will find them, approx. 17 files in the Windows directory and approx. 4 other config/ini type files scattered elsewhere. But no matter where you install the software, the install will put these files right into the Windows directory everytime. And it wouldn't know where they are if they could be put elsewhere.
