There is no chosen "app folder" for k2pdfopt. In fact, I want users to be able to run it directly from their desktop, and I don't wish to clutter the desktop with a .ini file. Besides, this has its drawbacks--it doesn't create unique settings for individual users. The app is also not necessarily guaranteed to have write access to the folder it is running from. For these reasons and various others, I store settings in environment variables. I do not intend to change this in the near future. In any case, there are many, many applications (the majority, I would venture) for which re-installing Windows 7 loses all settings.

PS. I could consider a "save settings" and "import settings" menu selection for the MS Windows GUI. That wouldn't be hard...
