Ah, the terrors of hitting 'send' instead of 'save'...
=====================================
I'm finally doing a 'proper' Windows app and have a few questions:
1) Normal preference file location - specialFolderPath(26) and then
a new folder with the name of the app?
FWIW, that is how I approach it. 26 is the system directory that
serves as a common repository for application-specific data.
Looking at my code, I have a branch when getting the user data
folder. On Win 2000 and above I use specialFolderPath(26), otherwise
I query the registry:
put queryRegistry("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\AppData") into thePath
This is old code and my notes seem to indicate that 26 should work on
98 and above (and 95 with IE 4 installed) out of the box so I'm not
sure why I have the registry query in there. Maybe do some tests on
Win 98 if you need to support that or ME to confirm it works.
2) "Do you really want to run this horrendously dangerous app from
an unknown source?" At the moment I'm not so bothered about
sorting out a proper digital signature, but how do you get
something other than 'Unknown Publisher' to appear in the dialog box?
Don't know about this one.
3) Opening a specific folder in Windows Explorer - on Mac I use a
small AppleScript, on Windows I assume this is going to invlove a
shell script?
