Do you actually read my posts - e.g. from https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/redirected-log-path-some-files-created-in-standard-path.131632/page-2#post-1149459

...that is why (if we want to move away from hard-wired log paths) the log path settings need to be independent of the MP1 and MP2 applications.

As far as Microsoft are concerned the Windows Registry *is* the correct place for this sort of information (that is why MS provides it - and all the software tools use it - to avoid apps scattering settings information around in various private files on the system - e.g. the .ini files that old versions of Windows used).

You are not looking at the big picture here....

The MP registry settings that exist at present are not "scattered throughout the registry" - they are all grouped together in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Team MediaPortal and it's sub keys.
