In Windows Vista this is part of the roaming profile for the user, not the local one, i.e. it writes to C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Roaming, not C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Local - see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd378457(v=vs.85).aspx.\r\n\r\nThis increases the roaming profile size and causes Windows login delays for users.\r\n\r\nIt may be best to add %LOCALAPPDATA% as the first possible directory to write to.\r\n"}}
