Hmm, rbbr doesn't use %USERPROFILE% directly.
How is your environment variables?
I think your HOME environment is set like as HOME=%USERPROFILE%.
If so, set correct path to HOME or USERPROFILE.

Sure. I'll change it in the near future.

Thanks. Fixed.

The entry box accept regexp strings. 
For example, when you find classes which start 'A', put '^a' 
to the entry box. If you find Gtk::Window itself, put 'Gtk::Window$'
there. If you find all of Gtk and Gdk modules/classes, 
put '(Gtk|Gdk)' there.
It's really useful for me :).
