Can a specific FAQ cover installing scripts/plugins/skins ?
I know this information is covered somewhat in #4 Where is user specific data stored? but I didn't look there because I wasn't looking to find where User Specific Data was stored, I was looking to install a script.
Two things might direct users more effectively (less annoying questions for Mods).
Change this:
# 4 Where is user specific data stored?
to this:
# 4 Where is user specific data stored? Where should I install plugins/scripts ?
or add:
#5 Where should I install plugins/scripts/skins ?
As well, I would fix this page.

This is not correct for the default setup on Windows. The default install directory is c:\Program Files\XBMC and the scripts directory is located at
C:\Documents and Settings\"UserName"\Application Data\XBMC , where "UserName" is the Logon Name when you Log into windows.
To further reduce problems here, I would consider putting in a readme.txt by default in the c:\Program Files\XBMC\scripts\ directory which outlines this problem.
On top of that I would give users the Tip:
To find out what your "appdata" directory is Type this in the RUN: location.
explorer %appdata%
It will open up your current AppData directory. (see below)
Hope this helps !
(Give me wiki editing ability and I will do it myself.).

Finding and Adding Scripts
When you download and compile the XBMC SVN source code, there will already be some scripts inside of the scripts folder. [color=red]The scripts folder is located on your XBox where the XBMC Installation directory is[/color].This is not correct for the default setup on Windows.
