Vista, virtualization, and hairlessness

[Eric Chatonet]

Bonjour Richard,

As said Trevor, specialFolderPath(35) seems the right place:
In addition it's valid on XP and Vista:
. XP: C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data
. Vista: C:/ProgramData (files will not be virtualized as they are if  
put in the applications folder)
