Description
The user's local folder is intended for storage of settings of programs and other files changed by the user. But the installer and the installation and start-up instructions instruct you to copy the resource files there, which is not always possible. So, to run the game from another user, you will have to create a copy of the resource files again.

Done means another user can run the game without creating a separate copy of the resource files in that user's home directory.
