The closest thing you had to a HOME folder back in 98 was the "My Documents" folder, which I believe was still stored inside the windows folder, usually (but not always) "C:\Windows\My Documents" Everyone was still doing it their own different ways in 98, things got increasingly better (er, more organized anyway) with NT/2000/XP.
The safest/cleanest way is to just create a directory for your app and then store your config and your own temp directory beneath it. This way you don't have to parse spaces in pathnames and it's transportable across most platforms.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
