One could argue the OS developers made "Preferences" locations for a reason. It's standard to write where appropriate for the platform: Registry makes sense for Windows and the Library/Preferences folders make sense for OSX (System Folder/Preferences for OS9). That being said, there are other locations such as Application Support folders and equivalent, and one should consider whether they are writing prefs for the current user or for any user of the app on the current machine (save prefs under Current User or All Users). So while there are a few options for prefs locations, the one place I would avoid saving preferences to is your app's folder. It's likely that write permissions will be disabled there so prefs will not be saved, or even worse, users will get an error or possibly a virus alert when your app tries to save. Using the "designated prefs locations" makes better sense.
