Move settings to AppData on Windows #3

Program settings should not be saved directly in a user's profile on Windows (e.g. C:\users\wroot\flame). It should go to C:\Users\wroot\AppData\Roaming\flame.

Thanks for noting that. I definitely will move to fixing properties/files issues.

Spark also was saving just in home folder for all systems in the past. But now it saves to APPDATA\Spark on Windows. There is even an import code. if you upgrade from an older version.
