C:\ProgramData\Xidicone\Zeus

Hello Jussi!
I'm still working on my new Windows 10 machine at home and installing Zeus and setting up the configuration that I had on my old X machine. I'm quite familiar with doing all that so that's not the problem.
My new machine has one of those fancy-schmancy flash-RAMy solid-state drives for C:. They are REALLY fast but do have the issue that there's a limited amount of writes that they can handle (granted it's in the petabyte range!) so I want to be careful not to put any directories there that I'll be writing to all the time.
I don't mind Zeus being installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Zeus because I don't expect that directory to have a whole lot of writes (just a lot of reads, well except for occasional Zeus updates). I went to a lot of trouble to set up a junction from my users directory on C: to D: but it's working so now C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Xidicone\Zeus points to D: which is pretty cool.
My concern is with the C:\ProgramData\Xidicone\Zeus directory. My understanding from checking out your forum (viewtopic.php?t=2719) is that this is just a temporary directory for an initial Zeus setup before it sets up the REAL configuration directory. Is this correct or does Zeus actually use the C:\ProgramData\Xidicone\Zeus directory?
Thank you,
Alan Stewart
