Hey, thanks for the info. I've heard it said that 'Knowing is half the battle.'

Previously we wrote to either Director's application folder for authoring, in Shockwave we wrote to the player's Prefs folder and in projectors they were written to a folder next to the projector. For authoring and projectors this was causing problems on both Windows and OSX systems for users with restricted priveledges on the machine they're using. For example, I'm a restricted user at a school, I cannot modify anything inside C:\Program Files, I try to call setPref() while working on a Director project, it would fail as I couldn't modify the directory. Therefore we migrated the target paths to user specific ones so as to avoid write-priveledge issues. Cheers, Tom Higgins Product Manager - Director Team Macromedia ...
