#437 Can't store on UNC paths

[Bill Kearney]

When trying to change the preferences on where ipodder
stores files (the windows version) it refuses to allow
selecting a path on a UNC store. As in
\\server\media\podcasts, it refuses to find the path.
Mount it as a drive letter and it'll store there just
fine. Seems like it oughta be able to support UNC
paths and not just drive letters; most other programs
have done this for years.

from old bug-report:
When you setup iPodder the default location for 'My
Received Podcasts' directory is appropriately in the
users 'My Documents' directory.

However, some users or network admins redirect
their 'My Documents' directory to a location NOT
beneath the users profile directory such as to a drive
letter or to a UNC path such as \\server\users\%
username%

Most modern Windows programs correctly adapt to this
but iPodder 1.1.4 does not.

Rather than assume that the users 'My Documents'
folder is located beneath the user profile directory,
query the registry for this value which is the path to the
users actual 'My Documents' folder:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre
ntVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Personal

From old bug-report:
I installed iPodder for Windows ....

"My Received Podcasts" was placed in c:\documents and
settings\me\mydocuments.

I have changed the location of 'my documents' to
another partition so iPodder should have looked for the
actual location which would have been s:\my documents.

I'm sure this value is somewhere in the registry.

Cheers ... cool product .. can't wait for the next
version and user interface.
