Running from read-only location #171

The portable version saves data in the folder with the executable (it creates user subfolder, files configuration.xml and locations.xml). I wonder whether it may be possible to tune this portable version so it doesn't try to save data into its folder, but uses a folder under %APPDATA%? Maybe an extra file with a read-only configuration to change data saving location? At the moment the app shows the error when started from read-only location

Access to the path 'D:\Programs\AntiDupl.NET-2.3.11_SingleFilePortable\user' is denied.

... and quits after that.

Changed headline -> it's valid also for the normal version
