* An option to have Quickpar create scratch files in
the directory where you have the par files (and not in
the windows directory) or prefreably disable it
entirely. (I love the new verification layout, much
better than the old, but i have to use the old since i
don't want unncessary guff in the windows directory)
* An option to remove the "Priority" option from the
taskbar menu.
* A link on your homepage directly to this tracker ;)

When you refer to "scratch files" I assume you mean the
cache files which QuickPar uses to record details as to which
files have been verified.
Are they really being stored in your "C:\Windows" folder?
They are supposed to be being stored in the "C:\Documents
and Settings\yourname\Local Settings\Application
Data\QuickPar" folder (or whatever folder Windows specifies
as the place to store local application data for a user).

Well, its in subdirectories under windows, but i'd still
call it "in windows", the path is:
C:\WINDOWS\Local Settings\Application Data\QuickPar
And unfortunately its not a text string in the program,
otherwise we could hexedit it :)

The path where QuickPar stores cache files is determined by
settings in the Windows Registry.
If you open Regedit and look under HKEY_CURRENT_USER
for "Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\
Shell Folders" (or if that does not exist look
for "Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\
User Shell Folders") and the look for either the value "Local
AppData" or "AppData". If these paths contain elements with
% marks around them, then they get replaced with the value
from the corresponding environment variable.
If you don't want local application data to be stored in a
folder beneath the Windows folder, then you can edit those
registry keys to point somewhere else on your hard disk.

I generally want application data to be stored where the
application is installed, except for Quickpar where i would
like it stored where the par files are. Doesn't seem
possible be editing the registry, eh? But thanks for taking
to time to tell me.
