I would suggest

    %USERPROFILE%/.jed/
    %USERPROFILE%/.jed/jed.rc
    
with `Jed_Home_Directory' == "%USERPROFILE%/.jed".

This would match nicely with the default settings in Debian

  `Jed_Home_Directory' == "$HOME/.jed"$
  `Default_Jedrc_Startup_File' == "$HOME/.jed/jed.rc"$

The "app-dir" could be used for private additions like

   %USERPROFILE%/.jed/.jedrecent
   %USERPROFILE%/.jed/lib
   %USERPROFILE%/.jed/templates
