That will give me an absolute path. What I need is a path based on a system folder ("My Documents")

No, that is not possible, and I don't really think we will implement that. What you can use is to create separate shortcut for each user, i.e. put it on their own desktop and call ScummVM with '-c' command line option. Something like this:

Code: Select all

scummvm -c "c:\documents and settings\user1\my documents\scummvm\scummvm.ini"

I think

Code: Select all

scummvm --savepath=%USERPROFILE%\My Documents
could do the trick, but i did not test it myself.
