For Windows, you should add the App Data directory for a searched location.
Microsoft recommends and Vista security requires that program specific config
files be located there, preferably in a specific folder. For LDDP I create an
LDraw folder specifically for this purpose. Now that I think about it, the LSC
could probably define the location preference for each platform.

OK, good idea. You mean the %APPDATA% environment variable ?
Where should it go in the search order ? Like this:
The LDRAWINI environment variable
%APPDATA%\LDraw.ini
%USERPROFILE%\LDraw.ini
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\LDraw.ini
LDrawDir\LDraw.ini
%windir%\LDraw.ini
C:\Windows\LDraw.ini

Yes. I have added the locations I have collected during the years
from various postings.
