When does stuff like this get updated? I hear all about these items that will get fixed "after the patch". What's the word on that?

If you can't find it, try searching your user folder. The folder structure may differ between different versions of Windows.
You could just do
Start => Run => C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft Classic
Windows Explorer will open to that directory.
This should be the same for Vista and above as Windows 95 and XP didn't have C:\Users IIRC.
For the second quote, try deleting the WDB folder in that directory if you cannot run WoW.exe as an admin. Your UI will reset, but don't worry. Copy the WTF folder from C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft Classic to C:\Program File (x86)\World of Warcraft Classic\ and you should have all your settings, UI adjustments, etc.
If you run WoW as admin after copying the WTF folder from the VirtualStore directory, WoW may rewrite it the WTF folder to the default settings so I suggest running WoW as administrator, logging into a character, exit the game, and copy the VirtualStore WTF folder over to your C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft Classic\ directory.
Let me know if any of this helps.

@echo off
cd C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft Classic
rd /s /Q "WDB"
start WoW.exe
exit
