The ini file is created when the installer runs (or rather unpacked from a zipped up default file). You never need to touch the folder that RR is in, or the ini file. Use the configurator. Really that simple.

Because MyMusic is not where a lot of people put their music. For example most people partition their drives. Media on a second partition. That is not MyMusic. If you reinstall windows, the Media part is uneffected. And realistically, the only time music goes in that folder is when you use WMP to rip from a CD, and I havent bought, burned, or ripped a CD in years, and my folder only has the default jazz song Should default to your torrent folder. Whoops, who said that?

Because there are way too many different GPS programs. Also lots of installs have 2 GPS programs. iGuidance does directing, MS Streets does the planning.

Personally I think that is the worst idea ever. Proof of this idiocity is in the SD forums. SD glitches probably while the write stream is open on the file, and something gets messed up. All the hours they spent configuring it, gone. rewritten to defaults because it was broken. Look at the bug area and it is littered with "SD crashed today, restarted it and everything was back to defaults". That would **** me off. If RR were to crash, which it rarely ever does, I want it to just skip that part as if it werent there, and leave my config. For those who put hours into it, I am sure they want the same.
