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.
