Misleading example
The example given above is confusing. There is no "Lists\Annoucements" folder in the SharePoint root folder. A more appropriate example would have used "TEMPLATE\FEATURES" or some other path in the root folder instead. Giving "Lists\Annoucements" makes you think it is building a path to content files.
