Mark,

Maybe, the problem is not that a system is localised but that the user on that particular localised system is logged in as user with limited permissions. You can probably write to that folder only if you are logged in as administrator. Not that I am 100% sure, but this seems a good theory to me.

Best,

Mark

Working on a utility for Windows that writes to

  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data

but it occurs to me that this would not work for non-English operating
systems.  Three questions:

- Can I use the environmental variable $ALLUSERSPROFILE with absolute
confidence that it will resolve on all Windows operating systems?
- How do I write into the "Application Data" subdirectory? (i.e. how do
I anticipate the localized name?)
- If I can't, then can I create a directory at the root of "All Users"
with absolute confidence that I can do it on all systems?

Thanks

Mark Powell
