I'm not too happy with this either; but it seems to be according to the Microsoft's recommended practices. It's generally a good idea to follow these. The better way would be to split it up over AppData (for stuff that is not likely to be of interest to the user) and the My Documents folder (or one in My Games, maybe; it is probably a better location, but not sure whether there are any specific guidelines/constraints to that dir).

I think you can set those folders by making a paths.ini with the following contents (example shows default values):

[paths]
RegBase = Westwood
RegClient = Renegade
RegFDS = RenegadeFDS
FileBase = Renegade
FileClient = Client
FileFDS = FDS
UseRenFolder = true for server, false for client

I'm not exactly sure what all the the entries mean (I can make some guesses, but you can probably make the same Smile ). If UseRenFolder is false, it will store the values in my documents.
