Maybe its something to do with registering the application with Growl
for Windows, but a feature I would like with the multiple accounts is
to have it forward to different Prowl devices, depending on which
account gets the message/growl.

Could something like that be in the works? Or source code where a
find/replace could handle it so I could register it as a separate app
in Growl?

Ah, interesting situation. Unfortunately Trowl can't do anything
itself to influence how things get forwarded to Prowl. Theoretically,
though, I could specify a different notification in Growl for each
account you have. For example, right now there is just one
notification type, "New Tweet". Instead, it could have a different
type for each account, so there would be "New Tweet: @mageuzi" and
"New Tweet: @TrowlForWindows", for example. Then you could configure
each notification to get forwarded differently. The only downside to
this: I don't think it's possible to remove notification types. So if
you later remove accounts from Trowl, they would still hang around in
Growl, making things a bit cluttered. I think that's the only way
something like this could work, though.

For me, personally, that would work fine. If worst came to worst and
for some reason I couldnt get it out of growl, I could just uninstall
and reinstall it to reset it.

It would definitely be a setting that would be off by default. I'm
not sure how common this scenario would be, and it might be confusing
for those who wouldn't use it.

This feature probably won't make it into the next release (0.5.4), but
I'll see if I can add it in for the release after that. Thanks for
the feedback!

Sounds good.
Offhand, do you know if there is a way to register it as a separate
app in Growl? Like copying it to a new dir, running the setup again,
and have it in Growl twice?

No, because the app always identifies itself to growl as "Trowl". So
it will always register and send notifications under the same name, no
matter how many different instances of Trowl you run.
