Maxscript - Good place to save ini? and permissions?

Hi all

I have a script that lets the user choose a bunch of settings. I then want to store that in an ini file (the easy part).
The question is, where’s a good place to then store that ini file for reading later?

I was thinking inside the root of max or perhaps in scripts in the root? How would I handle permissions for it then?
Any advice or suggestions?

I think you should be using something like:C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2016 - 64bit\ENU\MySettings
I don’t think you need permission to write to there and all the setting would be specific to each user.

I have a similar script and I let users choose where to save from a “save file” dialogue. So they can save these settings and load them later as preset.
