$USERPROFILE on WinNT shold resolve to the root of the "users" home directory. $SYSTEMROOT should resolve to the operating system root directory. Many cross platform apps (X-Plane as an example) use the OS root directory ($SYSTEMROOT) to store stuff. I don't know if this is good practice (I don't care for it personally), but nonetheless. IMHO, it would be nice to see "default" config file names and locations be names that would work across all platforms and to see that they land in places on a given OS that have analogies to each other. Better, IMHO, would be to keep "default" configuration info encapsulated under the application root somewhere, with command line options for specifying alternate locations and/or names. I guess this flies in the face of what applications typically do on a UNIX machine.
