New description:

 Using --config="conf\scummvm.ini" means I get to use a portable version
 for an INI file under ScummVM's own folder.

 But using it still creates the **blank** folder **%appdata%\ScummVM\Saved
 games** (which is blank as scummvm.ini contains alternative locations for
 extrapath and savepath).

 Please avoid this folder to ensure portability and this this empty folder
 is meaningless anyway.

 **October 2021 Update**
 Until #11412 (**log** command line parameter), which just entered an
 official release, there was also %appdata%\ScummVM\scummvm.log, which can
 now be avoided.
