 Replying to [comment:5 mikeperry]:
 > However, it appears that some apps can query the kernel/runtime for an
 alternate version of appdata using SHGetFolderPath(). This appears to be
 fixable by calling SHSetFolderPath(), as I did in my windows launcher
 patch. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762247(v=VS.85).aspx

 According to that page, SHSetFolderPath writes the new path into the
 system registry permanently for all programs to use.
