Description
To support Least-permission User Accounts (i.e. everything except Administrator) on Windows, no files in the game directory may be written to.
1) All output files (e.g. screenshots, savegames) should go into "My Documents\My Games\0ad" (suggestion). 2) Non-user-specific stuff that also doesn't need to be backed up (e.g. archive and XMB) should go in "Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\0ad". 3) this will be implemented in a portable fashion by providing sysdep routines to return "home" and "local appdata" directories.
