imho the log files should be saved in RomCenter root folder, like the firebird.log file.

Unfortunately this is not a good idea because in Windows 7+, a non-admin user does not have permissions to write to C:\Program Files or any of its subfolders. Even when he is admin, UAC (if active) constantly pops-up confirmation warnings, so...

I see, well, I was thinking on portability :P

for folders related with system as: Program Files o ProgramData it will require the user to execute RomCenter.exe with admin rights, some apps do it automatically (using a shield logo over the icon) but no idea if possible to do it with RomCenter.
