Suggestion:
A Special wildcard, as common as Java and Steam wildcards, that determine main/admin Windows user appdata directory.

Needed for mods for games such as Sins of a Solar Empire, mod paths:
(XP users)
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-vX.XX
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment vX.XX
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Diplomacy vX.XX
(Vista/7)
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-vX.XX
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment vX.XX
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Diplomacy vX.XX

And also for maps for Battle for Middle Earth (I, II, II: The Rise of the Witch-king), C&C3 and RA3. They all are installed to Windows user application data folders as well.
