Yes, more or less. Most of this path is a registry entry so 'Documents and
Settings' and 'Application Data' are internationalised.

This is how, on Windows, different users get their own (independent from
other users) pictures, settings, stamps, fonts etc. It also allows the
Tux Paint program directory to be protected from meddling, and means
that it works 'out-of-the-box' for restricted users.

Having just the pictures in say 'My Documents\My Pictures\' would be
nice. In fact, a symbolic link to the pictures would have been a nice
solution....

The 'savedir' command-line option still works though, if you want to
change it back so you can all share your pictures again,

cheers,
John Popplewell.
