[Lazarus] Is this a new microsoft approach?

[Arí Ricardo Ody]

It's useful take some care. Here in my work there 
are people using vista that came with no files 
locked and other people using vista that came 
with locked files. I still can't understand the 
criterion used by the Redmont guys...

In anyway if someone here had to unlock some 
files in vista I ask to inform, please, how was 
the procedure adopted. I can't release the files 
in a way that Lazarus can write its configuration files.

Is there a way to redirect the Lazarus configuration files to a new directory?
