Forget the technicalities for a moment and remember that we are 
producing software for non-programmers most of the time.

It is important to remember that the 'MyDocuments' folder approach was 
created in order to give a degree of familiarity to Joe Public when 
using his new computer.

I spend more time helping people to find something they have 'lost' 
because the new fangled 'preferences' approach often results in files 
being stored in some very non-obvious places.

IMHO our open and save dialogs should always point to the 'MyDocuments' 
folder as the first place to look or store files that will be needed in 
the future.

Just my 2p worth
