Using environment variables

Versions >= 2.4 allow you to use environment variables in the configuration.

It's recommended that you modify the configuraiton files (inside %APPDATA% directory) directly with your favorite text editor.

Example:

XML

               ConsoleApplication1.sln         %PROJECTS%\Console Application1\ConsoleApplication1.sln         %PROJECTS%\Console Application1       
               ConsoleApplication1.sln          %PROJECTS%\Console Application1\ConsoleApplication1.sln          %PROJECTS%\Console Application1
