Hello folks,
My platform specific saving data script now works fine.... thanks for
the advice so far.
However, I was thrown a bit because Specialfolderpath (26) on my
Vista machine points to a folder ..../appdata/roaming
But it's inside your user folder. Pre-Vista, it points to the user data
in application data, and Vista + it points to the user data in
appdata/roaming. It's just a change in folder structure. Both places are
the approved location for storing user-specific data.
As far as I can make out, if a user is logged into a server, this
directory is saved there, and will be accessible whatever machine is
subsequently used to log in. I have to say I don't quite understand
how that would work in practice, because presumably each machine
could have a different variant of appdata/roaming......
No, it should save to the local drive. SpecialFolderPath points to the
local system.
Apart form not quite getting what is going on with the roaming thing,
my questions are:
1/ Does Specialfolderpath (26) serve different purposes on other Win
versions?
No. Same thing.
2/ Does it matter that a standalone for a single user & non networked
computer is saving information in the ..../appdata/roaming directory?
No. Both save to the local drive.
