LDraw installation folder

[Steffen]

I have a different setup (Windows 7 64bit):

The LDRAW installation placed here:

C:\Users\XYZ\Documents\LEGO\LDRAW\MODELS <-- here go my unofficial files
C:\Users\XYZ\Documents\LEGO\LDRAW\PARTS
C:\Users\XYZ\Documents\LEGO\LDRAW\P

My scenes, models etc go here

C:\Users\XYZ\Documents\LEGO\Playground\...

And finally here go the programs:

C:\Users\XYZ\Documents\LEGO\Programs\...

There, for example, I have parallel installations of 3 MLCad versions in folders

C:\Users\XYZ\Documents\LEGO\Programs\MLCad 3.20
C:\Users\XYZ\Documents\LEGO\Programs\MLCad 3.30
C:\Users\XYZ\Documents\LEGO\Programs\MLCad 3.40

I'm unsatisfied with putting the programs there, but
when I had installed the programs to
C:\Program Files
C:\Program Files (x86)
, some of them failed to run because they tried to write into their installation folder.
Nowadays, maybe some of them don't anymore, but I don't wanna change my setup now that it is working.
Installing the programs to my LEGO folder allows me to easily grep for files,
even when they are buried in e.g. SR3D's program folder.

And in
C:\Users\XYZ\Documents\LEGO
, I can even store non-LDRAW files like building instructions, photos, videos etc.,
each in its own subfolder.

Well, just a virtual LEGO collection :-)))
