Hi Jim, First, my apologies for singling you out. In the future if I have an issue I will write you off list privately rather than publically making a statement as I have done. That will save not only end user confusion, but you and I can hopefully work together towards a common goal rather than becoming disagreeable with each other. There is however one issue I'd like to bring up as this effects everyone, and not just you and I.
Quote the vast majority of people who play accessible games are not going to set up and run multiple user accounts as you have done and thus they will not have the problems with my games as you have been posting about on the list. End quote You are probably right about that, but it doesn't change the fact they are going against excepted security standards. Any network administrator, Microsoft security adviser, etc will tell you that running a Windows 2000, XP, or Vista machine as administrator all the time is just bad security polacy. That is why from Windows 2000 on they have offered local Application Data folders, specific to each user, so that every game, program, etc can save program settings to the user's local directories rather than granting access to high risk areas such as c:\Program Files. All I am trying to do here is point out how the professional industry is moving by installing settings to the User's local Application Data folder rather than to a games local folder. Yes, I understand totally why everyone has saved directly to the games root folder, but that is simply not how things are suppose to be done any more. Especially, when a user wants to have multiple user accounts. Quote I should not get started on how much and badly you have put down my choice of programming language... End quote Look I will not apologise for stating the truth. Visual Basic 6 is a very old out dated technology. It is being slowly taken out of use by Microsoft. They are attempting to draw developers away from that older technology, and attempting to roll with the change.I'm very sorry I agree with them, and stated so. It is very clear no one in the blind development comunity cares. Ok, I will shut up about it, and everyone can stay with Visual Basic until doomsday. I won't discuss it any more. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
