It actually does; it is rather confusing though. :/ It's referring to 
KNOWNFOLDERID constant FOLDERID_ProgramData. The actual on disk location 
for this has changed over windows versions. As noted below in the SO

"Note that this documentation refers to the typical path as per older 
versions of Windows. In modern versions of Windows it is located in 
%SystemDrive%\ProgramData."
