[webkit-dev] Directory for Safari 3 for Windows plugins that isn't in Program Files?

[MILIANO Vitorio]

I'm not sure that makes sense, since IE doesn't support NPAPI plugins.

I know Firefox also checks %APPDATA%\Mozilla\plugins and Safari doesn't
look there, but I'll file a bug as soon as I confirm there aren't any
others.

Thanks,
Vitorio Miliano
