Hi all, I am in the process of rewriting one of my utility applications as a windows service.
Basically the app monitors a known subdirectory of MyDocs, in the exe I make a call to GetSpecialFolderPath(CSIDL_PERSONAL) which quite happily returns the path to the Local Users MyDocs directory. However, when I try to do the same thing inside a windows service app GetSpecialFolderPath(CSIDL_PERSONAL) returns an empty string! Also, having got the correct directory I then copy some common lookup files from a network share into it. This also fails when run under windows service (this is probably related to the same problem as above). Any ideas gratefully received. Paul.
