The installer doesn't support XP's notion of users because I know little about the MS scheme. By default, the pictures are stored in a directory 'userdata' in the same directory as the executable itself. To change this default location, use the '--savedir' option and change the shared Tux Paint shortcut like this: "C:\Program Files\TuxPaint\TuxPaint.exe" --savedir "%USERPROFILE%/Local Settings/Application Data/tuxpaint" Tux Paint will create the directories if necessary (and able to) and this should work for all your users. What would your opinions be about making Tux Paint on Windows use the following registry entry as a default data location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\My Pictures and adding a 'Tux Paint' sub-directory? Maybe the installer should prompt for where to store the pictures, use the above as the default, and setup the shortcut automatically? I was once told by a school lab-tech that all they ever want to see in an installer is a browse button that they can point at the place where the user specific data is to be installed. He had one of those roaming profile type setups where the user data is always mapped to e.g. 'U:\' cheers, John Popplewell. > Thanks in advance, Norm > > _______________________________________________ Tuxpaint-dev mailing > list [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://tux4kids.net/mailman/listinfo/tuxpaint-dev _______________________________________________ Tuxpaint-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tux4kids.net/mailman/listinfo/tuxpaint-dev
