Generally I go for an approach where I look for a default INI file in the
_current_ directory and provide either an environment setting or a
commandline parameter (or both) to allow alteration of that, with
commandline taking precedence over environment which obviously overrides
the default.

This would allow multiple users (with multiple desktops) to have icons that
have a parameter pointing to THEIR INI file (or CFG file or...).  Or,
simply, just start the program from their own directory.  :-)
