Thanks for the info, but this brings up a few more questions:

Is there a preferred way to make pre-configured sessions available to 
all users on the client, especially on Windows?
I'm asking because the registry entries are written to 
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER", and the --portable --home=storage-directory-here 
options *probably* require write access to the storage directory beause 
of the cache files - or am I wrong?

I was hoping I could dump the sessions file into a central folder, say, 
c:\program files\x2goclient\, but that won't work if cache files will be 
stored in the same directory.
