Anybody here know why O&O Defrag creates a settings folder in 'My Documents'? Is there and option where I can choose on what part of my computer this saves too?

Just recompile it and set --config-directory... oh wait, this is Windows, right?

sadly badly written programs like to pollute your documents folder sometimes and it's usually hardcoded. a lot of shitty mac apps do this too, actually. either use a different app, os, stop defragging or live with it

Pollution of My Documents or ~ is done by all shitty programs.

if user specific configuration doesn't go to ~, where does it go? ~/.app ? ~/.config/app ?
Yes, or $XDG_CONFIG/app or whatever the variable is. .config is the default though.

~/config/app is much saner. Otherwise you list your home dir and you see pages of pages of bullshit.

fuck unix, that's a mess anyway
I meant on Windows and Mac, where you have folders for Application Data and ~/Library/Preferences, ~/Library/Application Support/ etc.

FHS sucks, it's a fucking stinking pile of shit.
But "C:\Documents and settings\Application data\Configuration files\Per application data files\This time for real\*" is not ideal either, and Library? WTF are configuration files doing in fucking Library?
