Description:
On Windows, GetAppConfigDir(true) returns the folder where the application is located. This should not be the case since on tightly locked down Win2000/XP and especially Vista machines, you are not allowed or supposed write to program files directory where most applications are installed.
Probably should be returned by calling GetSpecialDir(CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS).
