[Mike Meyer] [... snip discussions of where to put config files ...]
| Yes, but Windows these days supports multiple users. Are you sure that | you want to restrict your users to one configuration file per | installed version of the program? | | I'm not sure Windows has a good solution to this problem. My | experiences with trying to share applications between users on Windows | haven't been very pleasant. I have the impression that few configs are stored these days without being per-user. However, there are "All Users" versions of the appdata directories, and so on, which could be used for such a purpose. <code> from win32com.shell import shell, shellcon import win32api print shell.SHGetPathFromIDList ( shell.SHGetSpecialFolderLocation (1, shellcon.CSIDL_APPDATA) ) print shell.SHGetPathFromIDList ( shell.SHGetSpecialFolderLocation (0, shellcon.CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA) ) </code> TJG ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
