sometime around Win2000 microsoft realized that they had a problem with
applications which stored user data in .INI files in the \WINDOWS or
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories. So they added a new path to the user
profile. \Documents and Settings\username\WINDOWS\SYSTEM which can be
used to store user specific versions of the .INI files which will
migrate with the profile from system to system. At the moment KfW does
not look there for the kerberos config files

Verified that the existing code will in fact work on shared systems.
GetWindowsDirectory() does not return the true Windows directory on a
shared system. The user specific directory is returned instead.
