Mention in the manual the default History store forward directory

Application Server Platform and Engine object General tab.

On a regular base customers are asking what the store and forward directory location is when leaving the configuration empty. This isn't mentioned in the manual. If you use the configuration help through the IDE you will end up with old information like this:
If this value is blank or invalid, the directory corresponding to CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA is used as the base root as per the Windows operating system standard. For example, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ArchestrA.

Using a Windows Server 2019, 2022 an 2025 the default location is:
C:\ProgramData\ArchestrA\<name op Platform or Engine>
