Research direction

Check the Windows config-file path example described in the issue and compare it with the reported Windows 10 location. Update the documentation to show the correct path, then verify the surrounding example remains accurate.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The example path to the config file on Windows is given as C:\Users\<name>\.kdiff3rc.
For me, on Windows 10, it is C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Local\kdiff3rc, not starting with a dot.
