Best folder location(s) for application ini

$

Hi guys,

 

I'm looking for the best location to save and operate on an application config file (i.e. ini file).

 

On my Windows 8 machine I've noticed other applications have used many different folders to store app data.

 

Does anyone know the differences?  Which folders to use, which ones have (read/write) restrictions and why??

 

C:\ProgramData

 

C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local

 

C:\Users\Owner\AppData\LocalLow

 

C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming

 

Does my application need to deal with all or multiple locations (as above) for different users??  What about other operating systems?
