[THIN] Fixing Applications in Vista like Java for roaming users that use LocalLow folder

Windows Vista uses a new directory structure in the users profile for application data. Instead of the folder being called Application Data as in Windows 2000 - Windows XP Microsoft renamed it AppData and created a redirect shortcut to it. (and the profiles are under Users instead of Documents and Settings of course) To further confuse things Microsoft created 3 subfolders under AppData called Local, Roaming and LocalLow.

The confusion and problems arise with roaming and mandatory profiles when you install an application and it puts its data in the LocalLow folder. The data from the app does not travel from Machine to Machine because the LocalLow Folder will NEVER roam.
