I like the way WinSCP can store its settings in an ini file (registry stored settings are a pain to quickly migrate to another machine).

Therefore all winscp settings (and maybe even login details) are shared with other users of my machine.
So is there any way to configure WinSCP so that it stores settings per user?

We don't need more crap in the profile-folder. The default max size set by GPO in windows domains as 30MB. USing the registry (which is already per user) is the preferred method in a multiuser environment.

WinSCP does that too, if you use registry, what is preferred approach on Windows.

You can specify path to INI file on command line.
