I'm not sure that this folder is named the same on localised systems so it would be better if we could get the OS to tell us. There is in LiveCode a SpecialFolderPath call to get the system-wide application support folder, but not one to get the user's local version. I've put in an enhancement request to extend SpecialFolderPath to provide one so I'm hopeful we will have this soon.
