It seems that for windows XP, 2K the "C:Documents and Settings<user name>Local SettingsApplication Data" is the fine place. What is the good place for Windows 98/ME and XP, 2K ? Thanks.

Look at the SHGetSpecialFolderLocation() function, specifying CSIDL_APPDATA, CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA, or CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA as the folder, depending on your needs.
