It might be a better idea to use getenv("APPDATA") for application config (equivalent to HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH\Application Data) rather than the users root profile directory.

On a slight tangent, I'm going modify FileSel to include links to My Documents(Win32)/Home(Linux) and Desktop as their absence has been annoying me for ages. The safest way I've found to get these paths one windows is (for My Docs):

	TCHAR path[MAX_PATH];
	HRESULT hr = SHGetFolderPath(NULL, CSIDL_PERSONAL, NULL, SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT, path);

MDSN page here. Does anyone know of a better way? Has this been done already?
