The windows version of OpenTTD will be very closely resembling the *nix variant.
You install the game somewhere central like Program Files
All your settings etc will go in %USERPROFILE%My Documents (eg CSIDL_MYDOCUMENTS) The highscore file will go into CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS (Documents and SettingsAll UsersDocuments) so it is read/writable by all users.

When the game starts it will first look in CSIDL_MYDOCUMENTS for the files then if not found in the installed directory. The saving of stuff goes analogously, first there, then centrally.

This is done in 'trunk'. For 0.5 it is invalid, as no real user ever requested this option.
