The bad thing of the registry is also that many applications leave their settings behind after uninstalled making the registry fill up over time with (now) useless data.
Please consider having all user settings put into the application folder only, for easy portability of Sigil and a clean (windows) environment. Thanks  |
Many Windows programs keep their settings and stuff down in "appdata". Thats where Kindle keeps their library. Firefox keeps everything down there including such things as bookmarks. There are many good reasons to for this. Your settings and other data are safe during updates etc., and are easy to back up.
In short - I agree. Registry errors and mishandling have caused me a great deal of grief.
