I changed the default directories on all systems:

I already told you: I think this is conceptually wrong. Images has to go (by default) into "~/Documents/Pharo Images". (Same as VMWare virtual machines go into "~/Documents/Virtual Machines" and parallels into â~/Documents/Parallels" al the rest: +1 :)
+1 on this. %APPDATA% is for data that the end user would never have to access directly. Remember that such dir is hidden. I remember this discussion in the Dolphin Smalltalk newsgroup almost a decade ago, when somebody asked why Dolphin installed the images in the "My Documents" folder. At that time Andy Bower pointed to a guideline doc with the proper reasons (which I happen to not remember). On the other hand, the executable was installed in the %ProgramFiles% directory, and some commons in the "%ProgramFiles%\Common Files", that were shared between different versions of Dolphin.
