-Multiuser Support on Windows NT based sysems
-    On Windows NT based systems (e.g. Windows XP), all user specific files such

+Multiuser Support on Windows systems
+    On Windows, all user specific files such as autogenerated configuration,
+    demos, videos, screenshots, and autodownloaded pk3s are now saved in a
+    directory specific to the user who is running ioquake3.
+
+    On NT-based such as Windows XP, this is usually a directory named:
       "C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Quake3\"
 
+    Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME will use a directory like: 
+      "C:\Windows\Application Data\Quake3"
+    in single-user mode, or:
+      "C:\Windows\Profiles\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Quake3"
+    if multiple logins have been enabled. 
+
     In order to access this directory more easily, the installer may create a
     Shortcut which has its target set to:
       "%APPDATA%\Quake3\"
-    Such a link would work for all users and would work on non-English versions
-    of Windows.
+    This Shortcut would work for all users on the system regardless of the
+    locale settings.  Unfortunately, this environment variable is only 
+    present on Windows NT based systems.
     
     You can revert to the old single-user behaviour by setting the fs_homepath
     cvar to the directory where ioquake3 is installed.  For example:
