But that doesn't solve the initial problem, which was data shared 
by ALL users, such as highscores. You need the "global" versions 
of these folders.

Unfortunately, appdata is only defined on WinME/Win2k, so if you 
want to support Win98 (you do!) then you'll have to go with a 
"documents" kind of folder :-( Or maybe not support high score 
sharing on that version of Windows.
