You may use the Windows API itself if you're developing in C++: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/reference/functions/shgetspecialfolderpath.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/reference/functions/shgetfolderpath.asp CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA is supported from Win2k/WinME IIRC. Furthermore regular user accounts (in Windows Context) may not write to that folder IIRC. So be cautious. _______________________________________________ dev-tech-xpcom mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-xpcom
