SpecialFolderPath("resources") workaround for Windows

Thanks for the reply - but the Copy Files tab shows the **source** of the resources (mine for example are in my DropBox account), not the destination. I do now realise from Klaus and Phil that the Standalone maker for Windows will put the resources with the actual .exe file of the application, so like them I will make up my own resources path. Let’s hope it doesn’t change over time like Apple’s did.
