Description

On android and ios the file plugin defines some standard paths of the form "cordova.file.*" (such as cordova.file.dataDirectory) which are used as a simple and consistent way to access different types of storage.

On the windows platform none of these paths are defined and attempts to query cordova.file.* returns undefined.

This means that if you want to port an app from ios or android to the windows platform it will fail to launch due to these paths not being defined.

Need to update the windows platform code to define the available file systems for the windows platform.
