When you write "1=executing user", you mean "executing user home directory"
don't you ?

There seems to be a difference between MacOS/Linux and Windows. On the formers
you store cache in the user directory but on the later in the system temporary
directory. Is this on purpose ?

This seems perfect for a desktop application but on servers you often want to
fine tune all this a bit more. Is there a way to override programmaticaly,
maybe
at assembly time, each of the root directories ?
