[Lazarus] GetAppConfigDir problem

Hi Lee,

I thought GetAppConfigDir () returns the '\documents and
settings\<profile>\application data\<appname> path? Specifying the
global parameter would return: '\documents and settings\all
users\application data\<appname>'

Am I mistaken? The above behaviours should work just fine for locked
down NT/Win2000 systems and Vista with UAC enabled, because the user
should have write access to there profile directory.
