Forgot to mention this one:

IMPROVEMENT: Add CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA, CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES_COMMON,
CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS and CSIDL_RESOURCES CSIDL values
to the "Get Special Folder Path" script function.

CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS seems to be a good "standard place"
to store writeable not public shared files to please the
Vista UAC feature.
