As the UI improves with functionality to properly edit/tweak configs, make
new configs, import dependent files etc., the need for direct tinkering
will decrease. We could add a menu option to navigate to the config folder,
but not sure how well that works with hidden folders.
Also note that use of %APPDATA% actually means %APPDATA%\Local (or
%APPDATA%\Roaming if domain users need to see the same configs no matter
where the login from, which I do not think is necessary or proper in this
case).
