Something I have been wanting to do is to get rid of the system-wide lyxrc.default file, so that every user only has his own one, generated the first time LyX is run by this user. I think this will simplify installation in many cases, especially when one considers that the system wide lyxrc.default is never really used :) Actually, what you need is the textclass.lst file, but it is a bug to test for it at startup. Would that help you on windows, or will it be worse? JMarc
