Summary: [Windows] scummvm.ini is in the wrong position

Initial Comment:
INI file is in the wrong position for these reasons:

1) I could not create a CD with an already made 
configuration that can works on every computer.
If I could create an ini file and put in the same dir 
as exe, i can run games that are burned on the same 
CD/DVD.
2) Windows is a protected directory, no program 
should use it. Only admins can work there.
Use profile instead.

A solution could be a search path, in this order.
1) local dir (same as exe)
2) %APPDATA%\ScummVM
3) %WINDIR%

And 2 should be the default configuration dir.
Thanks!
