Re: [webkit-dev] Directory for Safari 3 for Windows plugins that isn't in Program Files?
It would be interesting to see what the people at Microsoft suggest. Even if it is not established now, maybe this is something that could be established? In ideal Windows world it be nice to see Program Files\Common \Internet Plugins or Application Data\Shared\Internet Plugins being used, but it would be worth having the guys over at Redmond comment on this.

RE: [webkit-dev] Directory for Safari 3 for Windows plugins that isn't in Program Files?
I'm not sure that makes sense, since IE doesn't support NPAPI plugins. I know Firefox also checks %APPDATA%\Mozilla\plugins and Safari doesn't look there, but I'll file a bug as soon as I confirm there aren't any others.

Have a look at Opera as well, I am not sure what its doing either. Does Microsoft provide a directory structure suggestion for stuff that is shared by different applications, if they aren't made by the same company?

For Windows users without administrator access, there's no way to write files into the Program Files directory, so no way to install plugins into Program Files\Safari\Plugins. Is there an alternate directory location available, or will there be? Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari\Plugins, perhaps? I haven't found a location that's worked. Thanks, Vitorio Miliano Hi Vitorio!
