Well, I don't know what your user file does, but couldn't you create a .ini type file to hold the user's choice for the other file's location and save the ini to the current working directory? Something like this: <ini file> usersChosenPath = /usr/Path/to/Config </ini file> Kind of redundant, but I would think it would still work.
