FS_Open and Registry
Just a thought... from what I know the non-windows builds of FSO don't use the registry (well how could they) and use an ini file instead.

Since using the registry is windows only (and even for windows applications that's already deprecated, even though ini's are even older)
why not use the ini for all versions? That would prevent all of those access rights issues that the Launcher sometimes has with Vista,
it would standardize the way the information is stored and even more importantly... it would make parallel installations of FSO versions
possible, also together with the retail version without having conflicting registry entries...

Would that be much work? I mean.. the code is certainly already there.. the cross-platform department is already using that...

Just a thought.
