My apps will now show you where they are saving their settings files in the about box of the program.
This will normally be in a C:/Users/USERNAME/MyDocuments/DonationCoder/APPNAME/
But it can be different based on configdir.ini setting, portable use, etc.

This will help in some troubleshooting.

Very useful. If/when something goes awry it's a nuisance to have to hunt down the relevant files. Thanks!
