system-folders v1.0.114

#system-folders

Result with standard folders appropriate by system.

A Note on extending paths... many people have a misconception that backslash ('\') is the only valid path character on windows. This is not true; instead windows accepts internall either forward-slash ('/') or backslash('\') as equivalent path separators. The only exception to this is when specifying a path that is on a remote computer share, in which case backslash('\') must be used as in '\\computer\share' but after that point forward slashses may be used. On all linux systems only '/' is valid.
