You don't say which OS you are using, but assuming we are talking
about Windows, there is a standard place to store app data such as
your database file.  Ie. in the hidden "AppData" directory in the
user's home directory.

Can you not use whatever Windows' standard algorithm is for
determining the correct location?

Even if you trying to be OS independent, it seems likely that there is
a lib out there somewhere that provides the necessary support for all
OSes.  I'd be very surprised if this is not already a solved problem.
