TV-Browser stores its settings on Harddisk.
I found out (in the tv-browser forum) that you only have to change some absolute paths into relative paths. But I dont know how to do it. Hope somebody can help me. Here are the paths:
# In this folder TV-Browser stores the settings
userdir=${user.home}/TV-Browser
# In this folder TV-Browser stores the TV listings
tvdatadir=${user.home}/TV-Browser/tvdata
# In this folder TV-Browser stores the plugins
#pluginsdir=${user.home}/TV-Browser/plugins
# The folder for logging
#logdirectory=${user.home}/TV-Browser

What's user.home?

TV-Browser stores its settings in "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Administrator\TV-Browser". I think thats what is meant by user.home
I dont know what the correct path for the english Windows-version is, but you know what I mean
I have already changed these lines into:
--------------------------------------------------------
# In this folder TV-Browser stores the settings
userdir=TV-Browser
# In this folder TV-Browser stores the TV listings
tvdatadir=TV-Browser/tvdata
# In this folder TV-Browser stores the plugins
#pluginsdir=TV-Browser/plugins
# The folder for logging
#logdirectory=TV-Browser
---------------------------------------------------
By changing this, it creates a new folder in the TV-Browser-folder called TV-Browser (the same like like in C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Administrator\TV-Browser )
First I thought everything is fine, but when i copy TV-Browser to another location on the harddisk, the menues are incorrect. Instead of "file"-dialog, there is something like "MainFrame.menu.main#TV-Browser"
Dont understand me wrong, I dont know anything about relative paths, but I thought there is a general structure of relative paths someone can tell me.
Hope someone can help me.
And does anyone know what the NSIS variable for the user profile. It is possible to redirect that.

... is my command
$PROFILE
is what you are seeking.
P.S. Sync 2.0 today I hope!

Sorry that I have to ask: But were you talking about my question?
@ Steve
is that $PROFILE for my problem? If so, how do I have to change the lines exactly? And what is Sync 2.0 ? Sorry, but I am not very familiar with this.
And sorry if I understand you wrong. My native language is german
Me and 'im were talk about a way to re-direct the TV-Browser to a portable folder, dont worry, we'll do that. As for Sync 2.0 just ignore that!

It's unsafe to log in under the Windows XP Administrator account for normal use. I think it has even more privileges than a standard admin account, so it's just not a smart thing to do. It's like logging into Linux as root all the time.

I have no witty remarks or quotes to share at the moment.
Wide open admin account...*shivers*

Yes I know I am logged in as an Admin. But i never had any problems with that.
Now, i just want to know how to set the relative paths
You better have a damn good firewall, then, because if anyone ever manages to exploit your PC, you're in deep, deep doodoo (the hacker would have access to literally EVERYTHING).

I dont use a firewall. I think that Software-firewalls on a desktop-pc are needless. Some time ago I had a firewall, but it only alerts when somebody scanned my pc. There was never a serious problem with hackers.
BTW: my problem is solved:
------------------------------------------------------------
# In this folder TV-Browser stores the settings
userdir=../TV-Browser/settings
# In this folder TV-Browser stores the TV listings
tvdatadir=../TV-Browser/tvdata
# In this folder TV-Browser stores the plugins
#pluginsdir=../TV-Browser/plugins
# The folder for logging
#logdirectory=../TV-Browser
-------------------------------------------------------------
So everything is stored in the "TV-Browser"-folder, whereever it is
My main problem was, that i copied the folder into a subfolder called "!Portable". Seems that there is something wrong with the exclamation mark.
Thanks for help

Looks like we dont need a launcher.

I used to think the same thing until I got the MSBlast worm. A virus that can cause your computer to shut down the minute you connect to the internet and can exploit an unprotected computer without any user intervention is a very good reason to have a firewall from where I'm standing. It's not just human hackers you have to worry about; the automated kind--worms--are just as bad if not worse.
Oh well; to each his own.

I have two ones for my whole network plus four programs.
One can never have too many firewalls.

One cannot. Though it looks like by your standards, I'm two proggies short!
