Multiple Platform Release info

[Ken Ray]

Well, you can use the specialFolderPath() function to get the Temp directory
(but that is prone to be cleaned up), or you can write to the Windows
directory. Keep in mind that from a Windows perspective, this is "bad form",
as very few applications keep their data in files. (BTW - why do you need to
keep your preference data in a file?)

put specialFolderPath("system") into myWindowsDir

(BTW: There is a System and a System 32 directory on Win32 systems... why is
the parameter to get the Windows directory for specialFolderPath called
"system"? Shouldn't it be called "windows"?)
