Summary: Windows location of .idlerc

Initial Comment:
Minor bug: On Windows XP, the folder .idlerc is in 
C:\Documents and Settings\Bruce Sherwood (or 
whatever user name), which seems the correct place for 
individual preferences. On Win2000 however, the folder 
is at C:\.idlerc, despite the existence of C:\Documents 
and Settings, and this is not a good place for individual 
preferences. A particularly bad consequence is that a 
user might be on an administered machine without 
permission to write to C:\.idlerc, whereas a user can 
always write to their Documents and Settings folder.
