David, Welcome to
David,
Welcome to PortableApps.com :-)
It would help to know what the app is so someone could still try to investigate.
Why are you so sure it uses any parameter at all?
Maybe it doesn't use parameters.
Again, knowing what the app is might help,
and again, Welcome to PortableApps.

Ohhh
Sorry :-(
I didn't know it was you :-P
When did you change?
I usually browse from home with images turned off so I did not see your Avatar/Icon and in a New Topic/Initial Post your signature doesn't show :-(
Well, Welcome to your new identity
Are you David the second (JR) and your son is the third "III",
or are you the second David Dixon in the group :-p

Ohhhh
I thought a "II" was a "JR" until there was a "III" then, Senior became "I", "Jr" became "II" and Juniors' kid became "III".
I'm so confused,
you need to have a kid soon so it all makes sense :-P

usually you
usually you just experiment with things,
such as if you write a NSIS script somewhere in there before the app launches you would put....
System::Call 'Kernel32::SetEnvironmentVariableA(t, t) i("APPDATA", "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY").r0'and you would just change the "APPDATA" to something such as USERPROFILE or ALLUSERPROFILE it is usually harder to know the exact environment variable with freeware apps and easier for open source, because you can just go through the source.

no, it doesnt, it only sets
no, it doesnt, it only sets the environment variable for the current app.

How?
It's setting an env var, that would globally change it.
I don't get how it works :?

It tells the current
It tells the current application to use the new value as the environment variable, it does not actually modify the variable
The developer formerly known as ZGitRDun8705
Just so...
Just so you know, if you go to start-->run and type %ALLUSERPROFILE% it takes you to the alluserprofile and if your app stores data in there, then you would substitute this one for "APPDATA"
