h2. Locate global config directory following standard on Windows 

 Saving cfg files in a global location reduces future need for copying old configuration to updated installation.    The location is different for different versions of Windows. To locate the one for your Windows version: 

 # go to C:\\python25\Lib\Site-Packages\leginon 
 # run configcheck.py 

 The script gives the three search directories of the cfg files and the loaded file if present.    Note the first search directory that with a name most likely start with *C:\\Programs* and ends with *\myami*. *C:\\Programs*.    This is the *global configuration directory* we will use.
