Gary,
There are some vague refrences in the *Visual FoxPor Installation Guide and Master index*, on how to do this using the Windows Registry, and API calls. Using Regedit, I can see (on my machine) a TMPFILES key. Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER: Software\Microsoft\VisualFoxPro\5.0 (or 3.0) \Options. No reference is made whether this affects the Runtime or Development environment. Seems like this is a lot of work, and risk, to avoid using a config file.

Good luck,
