Any suggestions on how to deal with shared application data when a program is running under a standard Vista user?
In the past I have placed any data generated by my program inside the program's own folder in the 'Program Files' folder. However with Vista, standard users cannot write to the 'Program Files' folder. If a program tries to do this Vista directs the save/read to a 'virtualstore' folder deep inside the user's account folder. This poses some problems if data is meant to be shared between users or if it is required that an uninstaller removes all data generated by the program. I understand Microsoft recommends using the hidden folder 'programdata' (located on the top level of the system hard drive) but I can't find this folder as an option in the REALbasic Specialfolder object. There is a SharedApplicationData special folder. Is this what most people are using? Thanks in advance for any help.
