Yes - this is what I mean. While I'm aware that writing into that 
directory is not a good idea I would like to have it as an alternative 
directory.

Linphone doesn't depend on The Registry - so it could be started from 
any directory. Some Internet Cafés - like e.g. Easy Everything feature 
USB sockets for their clients. Having Linphone to look for its 
configuration in the directory the .exe is in, would allow the user to 
preconfigure his/her preferred VoIP provider.

One would just save that configuration file along with linphone.exe (and 
some dll s) on an USB-memory stick and carry it around. That'd be 
extremely cool as many such cafés have MSN and Yahoo only but webcams.
