Hi 

This thread is a bit old, but today I got another question of a
colleague of mine, who uses windows (I am only acquainted with Linux and
Mac).



> hg config --edit # edits the user-specific hgrc, which is probably what you want
> hg config --global # edits the machine-global hgrc, almost never what you want

He used 

 hg config --edit

In the repository
and that opened edits the .hg/hgrc file

He wants however to edit is user-specific one.

He and I have no idea where the user specific  file is located in
Windows. (In Linux mac it is in the home directory /home/user or
/Users/user
under the name .hgrc)



So two questions 

    1. Why did hg config --edit opened the local hgrc file in windows, I
       checked this in Linux
       hg config --edit opens the user specific one

    2. Any idea where in Windows the user specific hgrc file is located?
