Please, use the following functions to obtain the user profile 
directory:

One could use GetUserProfileDirectory adding "Application 
Data\Amaya" or just "amaya" which works for WinNT/2000/XP or better 
use SHGetSpecialFolderPath[1] with CSIDL_APPDATA parameter adding 
"Amaya" which should work for all Windows versions past Win95/NT4 
with IE 4 installed.
