That's against Windows guidelines: that directory should not generally
store user files. See this page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb762494%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
which says:
CSIDL_PROFILE
FOLDERID_Profile
Version 5.0. The user's profile folder. A typical path is
C:\Users\username. Applications should not create files or
folders at this level; they should put their data under the
locations referred to by CSIDL_APPDATA or
CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA. However, if you are creating a new Known
Folder the profile root referred to by CSIDL_PROFILE is
appropriate.
You can, of course, do what you want on your systems, but Emacs tries
to be a good citizen.
