    The PuTTY development team do read all the email we get, and we reply
    to a significant proportion of it. However we cannot guarantee
    replying to any email because we get so much of the stuff, and have
    other important things like full-time jobs, social lives, and sleep to
    fit into our lives.

    Revamping the config to be able to use the Registry and config files
    is something we want to do for a future release. See:

    ...for some of the things we think are important for the settings
    infrastructure.

    Perhaps you should read the code to find out what it's used for?
