Hi,

can you please give me the oflder locations where I should put:

- example files for all users (read/write)
- user project files (for each user)

Best would be the CSIDL_xxx constants, but anyway.


Thank you.

Gernot:

I install the sample files to an Examples subdir of the installation
directory (in Program Files). The first time the app runs, I ask the
user for a place to save files, suggesting Documents\MyApp as the
default. I then copy the Examples folder into this location. So each
user has his own copy of the samples. All user documents are in the same
place:

examples: Documents\MyApp\Examples
user files: Documents\MyApp
