Subject: [PATCH] Bug 2813 * Do not detect a seperate homepath on win95, win98,
or winme since it's not truly a user-specific dir and therefore provides no
advantage * Use CSIDL_APPDATA instead of CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA. This means
that user-specific game data is now allowed to be part of a user's Roaming

+Multiuser Support on Windows NT based sysems
+ On Windows NT based systems (e.g. Windows XP), all user specific files such
+ as autogenerated configuration, demos, videos, screenshots, and
+ autodownloaded pk3s are now saved in a directory specific to the
+ user who is running ioquake3. On systems using the English language,
+ this is usually a directory named:
+ "C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Quake3\"
+
+ In order to access this directory more easily, the installer may create a
+ Shortcut which has its target set to:
+ "%APPDATA%\Quake3\"
+ Such a link would work for all users and would work on non-English versions
+ of Windows.
+
+ You can revert to the old single-user behaviour by setting the fs_homepath
+ cvar to the directory where ioquake3 is installed. For example:
+ ioquake3.exe +set fs_homepath "c:\ioquake3"
+ Note that this cvar MUST be set as a command line parameter.
