Inside the user's home dir is an 'Application Data' directory - a Codeblocks directory can go in there, and include all the relevant files. That works for WinXP, anyway - on Windows 98SE Application Data is inside the Windows directory. From what I remember, there's meant to be a variable you can use to get at this (eg. %USERDIR% or something) but it doesn't work properly on Win98SE, giving you the root directory.

thomas:
It's %APPDIR%, and yes, it doesn't work reliably ;)

Regarding the user profile directory, perhaps this page on the MSDN might help.

--- Quote ---CSIDL_PROFILE (0x0028)
    Version 5.0. The user's profile folder. A typical path is C:\Documents and Settings\username. Applications should not create files or folders at this level; they should put their data under the locations referred to by CSIDL_APPDATA or CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA.

Vampyre_Dark:
I agree on the horizontal scroll bar. I really hate looking at it, and in other editors I have used it's appearance as a nice visual cue that one of my lines has gone too long. I know when it disapears that my lines are okay. :) Another thing is that I can't get rid of the ugly last grey column to the left. I know it's used for bookmarks and debug lines, but I use neither.

They are no big issues for me though.

If you 're talking about the gutter line to the right, go to "Settings->Editor->Gutter" and set "Mode" to "None".
If that's not it, which line are you talking about?
