Hi Jim,
The reason for not necessarily selecting the "My Videos" folder is that
the user may not wish (or be able to) store several GB's of video data
under that folder... which presumably is always on their C drive. They
may want it on an external drive.
I know for many somewhat older computers, disk space on the C drive is
limited.

I know this topic has been talked about before.... where to store Rev
stacks that will be frequently (and automatically) updated when

guidance of storing these stacks in the Documents folder. This seems
to avoid any problems with the Windows "virtual folders" issue. I
haven't actually tested this under Windows 7, but I assume it is
still a valid and safe place.
However, I'm running into a new issue. My program stores video files
in this same location, as these videos are tightly integrated into
the program. I wouldn't mind storing the videos
In the Dictionary, searching with specialfolderpath I find the following:
For Windows systems, you can also specify a CSIDL number that
identifies a special folder. Some Commonly used CSIDL values are:
0x001a: The user application data folder (e.g. "C:/Documents
and settings/Fred/Application Data")
0x0023: The "all users" application data folder (e.g.
"C:/Documents and settings/all users/Application Data")
0x000d: The "My Music" folder
0x000e: The "My Videos" folder
0x0027: The "My Pictures" folder
Is there any reason why 0x000e: The "My Videos" folder is a not
considered? Seems like an appropriate choice.
