Hello Hiroyuki,

this is against the "Designed for Windows XP" standard

Section 1
3.2     Classify and store application data correctly
Applications typically work with two fundamental types of documents: those that
are created by the user, and those that are created for use by the application itself.

IMHO the following place is correct:

[User Profile]\
        Application Data\
                [company name]\
                        [product name]\
                                [version]\
                                        [file or folder]

Please have a look at the design guide

greetings
Carsten
