\Documents and Settings\<user> is the home directory in Windows (\Users\<user> on Vista). There is no predefined directory for per-user installations. Even the Microsoft document on this topic is silent in regard to the location (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370813(VS.85).aspx). Most users I've observed that install software as a non-administrator put them into the "My Documents" folder as that is their perceived home folder. On my Vista machine I added a bin directory to my home folder (\User\<user>\bin) and store applications in there if they don't need to be available globally. -- Christof _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
