Hi,
I need to store some config files which have
to be available and writeable for all the users
of the computer. My first idea was to use CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA but under Vista it seems that unless your
application is running as an elevated process
this directory is not writeable by regular users.
BTW, my English should be very bad since I thought
"COMMON " means "writeable by all the users", which
was from my point of view the exact purpose of
this folder (and worked well under XP).
Well, which folder can I use to store my files ? I will test with CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS but as said before I need to
write *application config files* and not user documents.
Thank you very much !
