| I make the distinction because of Outlook Express.  All those emails
| go into app-data.   So users never think to back up that folder.  (Oh
| yeah, last time I looked the subfolder created was a GUID.  Yeah, real
| obvious MS.  NOT)

  Even worse, if people have to re-install they get a new
GUID, so that only the most knowledgable people can ever
retrieve their email and settings in that scenario. (One has
to change the GUID in the Registry.) ...Which makes the
argument for asking people where to put things, so that
people who want to back up don't have to have intimate
knowledge of Microsoft's "best practices". I've never even
used My Documents. I'd consider any software that saves
to there without asking to be faulty software. (Word, I'm
talking to you! :)
