Why not change the sql documentation to say:

        <windows-directory>\my.ini (e.g., c:\windows\my.ini)  Global options

instead of:

        windows-system-directory\my.ini   Global options

It's understandable why the author might have originally thought to
write it that way, but to defend it on the grounds that it isn't
confusing to a native English speaker is silly: It isn't English, and
it's slightly ambiguous.

I thought Yusuf's explanation of why it was confusing was clear, if
not the King's English.
