Summary: Setting Windows Configdir

Initial Comment:
I am using Win XP, Firefox 2.0.0.7 and Privoxy 3.0.6.  I don't have any issues with Privoxy working, I just want to set the documentation directory to the windows directory (C:\Program Files\Privoxy\doc\user-manual}.  I have tried variations in the config.txt file in section 1.1.  I have tried reversing the slashes, putting file:/// in front of the windows path and various searches in Google.  The Privoxy manual sort of leaves out the details of a "normal" windows path and it appears that all the paths are UNIX/LINUX related.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

The syntax for you would be
  user-manual  file:///c:/Program Files/Privoxy/doc/user-manual/

The problem is that Firefox, by default, blocks 'file://' links.  So you
need to install a local policy to allow "file:" links from Privoxy web
pages.  Here's what I added to my user.js

// allow Privoxy to link to the local user-manual files
// needed if you have a "user-manual file://..." directive in config.txt
//   ref: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84128
//          When clicking on a 'file:' link on a page that does not have
a
//          'file:' URL itself, the new page does not get loaded.
//   ref: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_don't_work
// NOTE: more magic is required if the 'noscript' addon is installed
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites",
"http://config.privoxy.org http://p.p");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled",
"allAccess");

(See http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/edit if my "what I added to my
user.js" was a bit too cryptic.)

That will get the majority of the links working.  But things like the
"documentation" link on the p.p and config.privoxy.org/show-url-info pages
ends up showing a directory listing.  If you'd rather have those links take
you to the main docs page, change the line to
  user-manual  file:///c:/Program
Files/Privoxy/doc/user-manual/index.html

Sorry, I hit refresh twice, not realizing that it would resubmit my
question.
