We do not export in ECL any way to read the registry, nor any function to
get local paths for concepts like Desktop, Documents, etc.

Sure. I am building it right now. But is there a way to run the tests here?

They do exist.However, I have a problem with ASDF's use of ALLUSERSPROFILE,
because it is mixed with a pathname "Application Data ..." which may have a
different name on a different language -- Windows has the bad habit of
naming system folders differently depending on the localization of the
operating system. Unfortunately all my copies of Windows are installed with
US locale and language so I can not check this.
