actually really hate how windows is so insistent on putting everything into %APPDATA% now

i understand that it's roughly the same place as $XDG_DATA_HOME so apps keeping user data in there is sensible

but for example when i install an app globally into %ProgramFiles% for all users of this computer, the start menu shortcuts absolutely fucking do not belong in my personal %APPDATA%

i may be the only user of this computer, making the erroneous installation into a weird place completely harmless, but it's the principle of the thing

@00dani what is so rich about it especially is that they had a solution to it, ages ago, with the ProgramData directory

It's a comedy of errors
