AA=scummvm.exe -c scummVM.ini -p c:\aaa.exe --auto-detect
BB=scummvm.exe -p c:\aaa.exe --auto-detect
CC= C:\Users\AAA\AppData\Roaming\ScummVM\

AA= was how i have been starting scummVM when scummVM went to C:\Users\AAA\AppData\Roaming\ScummVM\ for a default setting

and now, the effect is totally opposite
scummvm.exe -c scummVM.ini auto-creates %AppData%\ScummVM and a log file, i got confused by this one a while ago from my last post, blaming scummVM to litter a log file seemingly all over the places

and now just using BB= alone goes to the INSTALLED directory and DOES NOT create CC=
this is SO wonderful!.... at least personally
this was how i did, i transferred a users directory from XP or WIn 8.1 to Win10, saved games files were all over the documents, public, all users, saved games, my games... local, locallow, roaming..i COULD NOT separate few 100s game directories manually. so i just copied Win8.1 users to Win10 users and broke win10 and then reinstalled Win10 again but this time with kind of soft-reset installation without deleting users and registries, it was too risky and dangerous, but it worked.

may i ask when you changed your mind about it?
i will erase -c scummVM.ini from all my batch files and from ztree's integrated scummvm batch to feed game directories

this was my personal cleaner batch, all commercial software dont delete this
SET J11=%AppData%\ScummVM
IF /I EXIST "%J11%" RMDIR /S /Q "%J11%" 2>nul
