Auto-detect user folders paths
See original GitHub issueUser folders paths are stored in Windows Registry.
You can find them there : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
| Folder | Windows Registry Key |
|---|---|
| Desktop | Desktop |
| Downloads | {374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B} |
| Documents | Personal |
| Pictures | My Pictures |
| Music | My Music |
| Videos | My Video |

I believe we are already detecting user paths, the only one that is not using that method at moment is the downloads folder, thank you for the registry key.
