I'm not saying that it is a MUST requirement; however I see on my PC
running WinXP Home that Adobe Reader, Quicktime, Symantec, MSN
Messenger 6 are applications with configuration data in the "Documents
and Settings/All Users/Application Data" directory. I see this more as
a cosmetic thing to "fix", but I do not know the *exact* rules
stipulated by Microsoft (except from the "put all in registry").
