Re: Custom Path for Settings
We thought about this a while ago, but decided against adding this option. It simply brings too many downsides. For an application that modifies system settings it's crucial to have the settings file in a safe place. By allowing moving it outside of the program folder, it becomes editable by all other applications and unauthorized users.
However, if you really feel like doing so, you can use a manual workaround by creating a symbolic link. Something like:
mklink /h "C:\Program Files (x86)\NetSetMan\settings.ini" "C:\Custom Folder\nsm-settings.ini"Offline
