What is:

- Load on Startup
- Desktop

Just curious.

Check if nova is to be loaded on startup, or was there a shortcut created at the desktop...
Probably will be removed... so sorry.
What i should do is to check if a short cut is created at the respective folders, instead of putting it in the settings file

All the above settings are user settings right? What about application settings (apart from plugins which I will post when I have designed it)

none at the moment...
Ur plugin directory probably...
have a blank configuration file first...

Hi,

Can you specify which are the settings which requires a different data type? If not, by default, I will put them into string.

In addition, what is the default values for each of the settings?

Do you want to go into tat details? Cos my initial idea is just convert or p*** it..

The data types are ok to keep them as string. But it would be easier to interact with the business objects if the data types are handled by the configuration manager.

Also, the default values are to re-instate the configuration file if it is missing.
