Description Javier Jardón (IRC: jjardon) 2010-06-06 04:12:56 UTC 
g_get_user_cache_dir() retrieves CSIDL_INTERNET_CACHE:

"directory that serves as a common repository for temporary Internet files. A typical path is C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files."

I think that It's more apropiate to use CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA:

"directory that serves as a data repository for local (nonroaming) applications. A typical path is C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data"
