AutoExec.bat still contains:

If your C:\Windows\ldraw.ini contains:
    [LDraw]
    BaseDirectory=f:\LDraw
it should not be necessary to set the LDRAWDIR environment variable also.

Though http://www.hassings.dk/l3/download.html#req2 might give the opposite impression
L3P first uses LDRAWDIR if set, otherwise it looks for C:\Windows\ldraw.ini

I have no idea how that thing has landed there, but after removing it, L3P works
as before.
