Summary	0001702: If darkradiant cannot access user directory create configuration files in the root folder instead
Description	I want to use darkradiant on my pen drive when im not at my computer but the computers don't allow you to access their user config directories. Then it gives an error and won't start. Would it be possible to have a fallback which allows darkradiant to store information in it's root directory?
Tags	No tags attached.
