GetAppConfigDir returns the user's local folder when you specify false as the
global parameter, but when you you specify true, it returns the application's
directory.
From SysUtils.pas:
Function GetAppConfigDir(Global : Boolean) : String;
begin
If Global then
Result:=DGetAppConfigDir(Global) // or use windows dir ??
else
begin
Result:=GetSpecialDir(CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA)+ApplicationName;
If (Result='') then
Result:=DGetAppConfigDir(Global);
end;
end;
