I see a problem with this. In a typical user PC that hasn't turned off Microsoft's file hiding provisions, this directory is not visible. And the purpose of the directory is for application-modifiable files, not user-modifiable ones. So the use for DQSD temporary files makes sense and is appropriate, but using it for user modifiable ones isn't.
If the goal is to have user modifiable, individual preference files _per user_, then the users home directory is an appropriate place to do this.
