I'm finding I really need to have my apps take greater control over installation locations, upgrades, prefs etc. otherwise support time goes way up for naive users... i.e. basic operations like the above just needs to happen automatically...

for OSX, it is clear where to save supporting  files...

/Applications/myRevApp/someApp.rev
/Library/Application Support/myRevApp/supportFiles..../

but I'm not familiar with Windows. In one app I am just saving some Prefs for my app in the user's Documents/myRevAppPrefs/ folder... using the special path.. some Windows users are not super happy about this... as it is not normal Windows behavior.

Is it ok to simply make a new folder in the Windows System folder and put your prefs and any lo-level support files there? These being files the users never needs to see or edit.
