I think all of those directories are only for executable files
and not good to store any data. Is it safe to create database cluster
under "C:\Documents and Settings\postgres" or "C:\Users\postgres" ?
UAC often bytes us when we just try to modify the configuration file.
I'm not sure which directory should we create $PGDATA -- "My Documents",
"Application Data", "Local Settings" or direct child of %USERPROFILE%,
but anyway some of them would be better than "Program Files".
