I'll have to disagree here, Andrey. No application should EVER touch the "My Documents" folder without explicit user permission. This is the user space, and in an ideal world, the user should never find things he didn't himself put in there.
There's even an MS guideline about that somewhere, but I couldn't find it --- and yes, I must admit that MS itself disrespects this quite often. All I could find for now was this rant here: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001032.html If an application need to store user-specific configuration, it should use one of the user-specific "application data" folders: https://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2005/07/01/434647.aspx As a side note, MLO should not drop an icon in the desktop without notice. Put a checkbox in the installation package (using 'checked' as the default, if you will). For me, not dropping things in the my documents folder and in the user desktop is a matter of application politeness with users... :) Anyway, people may not care much about this, but I just felt like using this opportunity to say it. :) All the best, Luciano Passuello http://litemind.com ~Exploring ways to use our minds efficiently. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrey Sent: Monday, May 25, 2009 9:27 To: MyLifeOrganized Subject: [MLO] Re: MyLifeOrganized folder in My Documents No, because it is windows standard practice to use My Documents for such things. Users (and as result MLO application) may not have rights to create folders in Program Files branch after installation. but always have rights to My Documents. A.
