Following up on #42, Here are my suggestions for locations to search for the config file, we can discuss and I'll open a PR etc..

User Mode

Order Location
Primary %APPDATA%\nano\nanorc
Secondary %USERPROFILE%\.nanorc
Global %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\nano\nanorc

Admin/Elevated mode

Order Location
Primary %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\nano\elevated_nanorc
Secondary (for backcompat) %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\nanorc

%ALLUSERSPROFILE% maps to C:\ProgramData on recent versions of Windows.

Thanks for the suggestion; looks reasonable to me.
