Where to store data under Windows

[Scott Morrow]

Hello Richard,

I often try writing a little text file to the location that they pick  
(and then delete it if successful.)  If I can't create/write the text  
file then I know that they probably don't have sufficient permission  
and that I'm not going to be able to write anything else.
