Why is BrowseTracker.ini file in the root folder of drive C. That's a very bad practice (imagine mess if other programs were putting their files in the root) and it looks like some kind of quick & dirty kludge. Is there a way to disable this annoyance without disabling the plugin?

You're not using projects, don't you?

I have encountered this kind of problem when I use the portable cblanuncher several months ago. the BrowseTracker.ini was created in my F:\ rood folder of drive F. Then I have report to Pecan ( the author of Browser tracker plugin).
It should be fixed.
So, which version did you use?

The CB version is 10.5, and BrowseTracker 1.2.94 2010/02/25 (it came with the current CB installer).

I am using CB projects & workspaces. How is that related to the problem?

Not the same as you states.

Thanks, that fixed it -- from that thread I noticed he checks first for the .ini in the executable
folder. So I moved the BrowseTracker.ini from C:\ to the C::B exe folder and restarted
C::B then toggled the state of BrowseTracker. It updated the new copy without recreating
anything in the root. So it seems happy with the new place.

strange, I still meet this kind of problem.
Today, I just found that there is a BrowseTracker.ini under my F:/ root.
What I have done is:
1, install

on my system
2, then I just copy a portable cb launcher to the installed folder.

then just run the cb portable launcher.
Now, I just check the file BrowseTracker.ini, its create time and modified time was all consistent with the above behavior. :(
