Thanks Scott,
What if I want to save data in text files into the same directory/folder as the app (or a sub folder)?

I'm getting ready to release a program for Mac and Windows, but I'm mostly a Mac guy, so PC issues are pretty foreign to me. The program doesn't have any complex installation needs, but I've heard talk of the Windows Registry, write priviledges, etc. What do I need to know to distribute my app to Windows users? For testing this I've just been copying it to my Windows Desktop and running it from there. I've had no problems with that, but I'm sure there are things I need to be educated about.

If you are not writing to the registry (which is done explicitly in
your app') then you don't need to worry about that.  As for installation
location, 99% of the time - if a general small business or consumer
application -
the Program Files directory is fine.  In the rare instance you can't
write to this
then let the user specify where to install it.

Scott
