Sample File location in Vista?
-
Hello, My install packages installed a set of sample input file that are shared among users. Normally, these are install in the application installed directory. In Vista, however, this became and issues since access to such folder is limited. Where is the proper location for installing sample files that all users can view? What is the typical ways of dealing with something like this? Thanks HL

Use the
SHGetSpecialFolderPath()api call with thenFolderparameter set to either: For per user app data (e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data)CSIDL_APPDATAor for app data common to all users (e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data)CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATAregards,
