Steve Dower added the comment:

NT 5 would be Vista and earlier in this case, I believe. Specifying 
%LOCALAPPDATA% should be sufficient, though %USERPROFILE% (e.g. C:\Users\Steve) 
would also be okay.

%ProgramData% is not writable by limited users, but we don't want the global 
.ini to be editable by non-admin users. That said, even admins aren't supposed 
to go editing stuff in %ProgramData%, as I understand it.

I think having "alongside the EXE or in %LOCALAPPDATA%" is fine.
