Summary
frequent_locations.xmlfile when XML preferences are enabledconfig.xmlwhen the new file does not exist, allowing it to migrate on the next saveconfig.xmllocation, including whenEXPLORERPP_CONFIGis usedMotivation
Frequent locations are machine-specific usage data rather than portable application preferences. Keeping them in
config.xmlmakes that file less suitable for reuse on another PC.User impact
Users can copy
config.xmlbetween machines without also copying their frequent-location history. Existing XML configurations migrate automatically without losing their current frequent locations.Validation
