Another thing regards the location of the ini file. In past weeks I
got several questions regarding the central installation of LDraw

not have the possiblity to change configs ore should be restricted
somehow.

Yes, I alluded to this in my previous comment about CACLS and
Windows administrators.

Oops, I forgot to add this.

These sort of restrictions mean a user may be forced to put extra
search directories in their home directory.  Rather than recognize
$HOME or %USERPROFILE% in an absolute path, it might be nice to add
a <HOME> directory tag in addition to <LDRAWDIR> and <MODELDIR>.
I'm not sure what this would default to in single user systems
though.  Perhaps the root directory?
