It's not very clear explanation, so i will be more specific:
Did you mean that in Windows VISTA SM1 is composed of:
C:\Documents and Settings\RAY\Application Data\
C:\Documents and Settings\RAY\Local Settings\Application Data\
and in Windows VISTA SM2 is composed of:
C:\Users\RAY\AppData\Roaming\
C:\Users\RAY\AppData\Local\
No. Where did I say that?
In any Windows OS there are are two places an application might put your
data.
In XP they are
C:\Documents and Settings\RAY\Application Data\
C:\Documents and Settings\RAY\Local Settings\Application Data\
In Vista and Windows 7 they are
C:\Users\RAY\AppData\Roaming\
C:\Users\RAY\AppData\Local\
In each pair let us call the first one "Roaming" and the second "Local".
Roaming means that if you are connected to a corporate domain (which I am
sure you are not), the data is synchronized to the domain server, and will be
available on any machine that you use to log into the domain. Local means
that the data is only on your machine. A possible strategy is for an
application to always use the Roaming directory, except for features that
require a large amount of data (which would be prohibitively expensive to
synchronize).
I am not 100% sure of the strategies that SM1 and SM2 use. They certainly use
the Roaming directory, and at least SM2 uses the Local directory (but I am
not quite sure for what).
I can confirm for XP, that I have sm1 (as well as sm2 now)in both
....\application data\... and ....\local\application data\...
Very confusing.
Is there some site|faq|other where is explained what the files are used
for, in fact specially the ...\local\application data\.... one. The
other one is quite know for me at least.
