[SDL] Best location to save a file on Window Operating Systems?

[Paulo Pinto]

Hi,

just follow Microsoft advice,
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480150.aspx

Look for "Locating of Per-User Application Settings"

The best way to find the folder location is to use the SHGetFolderPath()
function with CSIDL_APPDATA or CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA as
location.

Hope this helps,
Paulo
