Hi Thomas,
Thank you, but when I pasted the link into Internet Explorer it came up with an
Internet Explorer error message and when I clicked on the don't send error
report button Internet Explorer closed.

Hi Jim,
Well, that's not quite the way to go about it. I did a quick Google
search, and found a decent article which discusses why you shouldn't
write to your program folder and then tells you have to save to your
user application data folders with code examples. Try this link
Where should I store my files that my program uses/creates?
http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?564256-Classic-VB-Where-should-I-store-the-files-that-my-program-uses-creates
As stated this article explains how to do this properly for XP, Vista,
Windows 7, and Windows 8 and gives some code examples. Hope this
helps. :D

Hi Thomas,
I found that the VB6 change path command chdir does not like the
%appdata%
And I am not sure how to get VB6 to ask for it to get the path to write the
game files to. However the below works
Open "c:\kit.bat" For Output As #1
Print #1, "cd %appdata%"
Close #1
Shell "c:\kit.bat", 3
DoEvents
G$ = CurDir
So if I am allowed to write that first bat file, g$ would now have the path
to write the game files to. Well I guess that I would first want to check
for and ad a sub folder kitchensinc, but other than that...

Never test for an error you don't know how to handle.
