True, but what else is there?  That's where "My Documents" lives;
there's no other "safe" directory I could think of for Windows.

If the error message including the language "You may need to add this
directory, or a parent of it, to the whitelist in %PATHTODMD%\sc.ini" it
should be OK.

The point here is to allow it safely.
