Added the built-in Variable %ApplicationData%

What this variable means and how to use it? Are there any documentation and usage examples of this variable?

It is the per-user application data folder on a system. For example on my system it is:

C:\Documents and Settings\bkapilik\Application Data

It is a good place for applications to store data that is only needed on a per user basis but wouldn;t really fit into "My Documents" or some other per-user folder. The nice thing about Application Data is that an application should always have read/write permissions on the folder even if the user is logged in on a locked down account.
