Default base folder for Windows is now the %USERPROFILE% folder.

Before, %USERPROFILE%\Documents was used.
The default download folders should be based on %USERPROFILE%\Downloads.
The other folders will land in %USERPROFILE%.
Also removed the obsolete option to have the INI file in the program folder. The latter now needs an explicit -f parameter.
