Summary

0002398: Use the AppData folder for the configuration file instead of install folder

Description

As we can see from the forums, having the .ini in the program files directory causes a lot of denied access problems.
In Linux the .ini is located in the ~/.zandronum/ folder. (~ stands for the home directory)
If the default INI location is put to AppData instead, this problem would disappear. With this, the need for -username part in filename would not be necesarry anymore, because the %appdata% environment variable is user dependent.
