Details

The contents of pluginreg.dat is machine-dependent (it contains absolute paths
to installed plugins), so I guess it belongs in "C:\Documents and
Settings\me\Local Settings\..." rather than in "C:\Documents and
Settings\me\Application Data\..." where it currently is.

Slightly related to bug 247427 and bug 74085.
We really ought to get rid of it, but as long as we have it it ought to live in the local folder.
