Files and folders

Files and folders location is relative to PSPad.EXE. Some folders are created as needed.
PSPad doesn't need installation. To work you need only PSPad.EXE. If you use PSPad in MultiUser mode (WinNT), some configuration and user files are stored in user profile directory (usually .\Document and settings\User\Application data\PSPad)
