Description of the issue: Information on the "Manage user data folders" is limited to packaged WinUI 3 apps. We also supported unpackaged apps, and the packaged guidance does not apply -- developers should not use the default user data folder, as it is by default created in a protected directory and throws an exception at runtime when creation fails. Guidance for unpackaged apps should probably look like the guidance for win32 apps.

An example of this confusing developers can be found here.
