I was just getting Jython working with py.exe, and I think the documentation can be made a bit more friendly. In particular think we can make it easier for people to determine the correct folder by changing the line in 3.4.4.1 Customization via INI files:

Two .ini files will be searched by the launcher - py.ini in the current user’s "application data" directory (i.e. the directory returned by calling the Windows function SHGetFolderPath with CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA) and py.ini in the same directory as the launcher.

Two .ini files will be searched by the launcher - py.ini in the current user’s "application data" directory (i.e. the directory returned by executing echo %LOCALAPPDATA% in a command window) and py.ini in the same directory as the launcher.

%LOCALAPPDATA% should always contain the same value as would be returned from SHGetFolderPath with CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA.
