pretty sure you didn't.

deken tries to find an existing path that is automatically searched for
by Pd.
on W32, this includes %AppData%\Pd and PDPATH\extra\ (with PDPATH being
the install path of the currently running Pd, in your case
%ProgramFiles%\Pd).

what deken does *not* do, is to automatically create any of the standard
search paths for you (in case they don't exist).
this has been discussed at great lengths on this very list, and i don't
think that this will change.

it seems that none of the stdpaths exist on your system (apart from
PDPATH\extra\, which is not writable; it is not writeable because of
your system's policy, not because of Pd).


oh, and Pd does remembers your decision during the runtime of the
process (it doesn't remember it across restarts)
