I'm looking at the MapBasic function GetFolderPath$() and notice that there are a couple of path designations that I'd like to know when I'd use one or the other. I'm working on a multi-user application so I want to store some user-specific parameters in the user's local folder. So I see that if I use FOLDER_APPDATA it points to a path like "Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\" and FOLDER_LOCAL_APPDATA points to a path like "Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\". Which one is the correct one to use? It seems that FOLDER_LOCAL_APPDATA is somewhat redundent. Why do they break out a "Local Settings" directory when you're already in the user's private settings path?
Just curious why there's such a hair-splitting... - Bill Thoen _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list [email protected] http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
