Description

Hello,

I have a Microsoft account that automatically created my Windows account when I installed it.
My first name is François and that's how the User folder is written on my PC. This has never been a problem for me until now, but during the `mkcert -install`, the rootCA files are not written in the right place.
I end up with an extra path that can give this kind of thing: `C:\Users\Fran├ö├Â┬úÔö¼Ôòæois\AppData\Local\mkcert` instead of `C:\Users\François\AppData\Local\mkcert`.

Is it possible to change the path of the generated root certificates without using the user folder (for example in the ProgramData folder) or to allow specifying the path when running this command?

Just to be precise, I'm not asking for the name of the rootCA files to be changed.

Thanks
