Thou shalt not put application data into SYSTEMROOT. Don't do it. Ever. Really!
Read the M$ guidelines on this stuff, including the dll-hell articles and the setup and install guidelines. Read the documentation on .ini files and the registry. They've all been telling developers to keep their crap out of the system folders; they don't belong there. Do *NOT* tell our newbie users to put stuff in there, because they invariably screw things up during installation, uninstallation and upgrade time. It's a big headache. Let's not go there. --Wez.
