Application Data Folder

[CosminU]

Hello,

How can I find the path to the "application data" folder for the current user and for "all users". I need a function or algorithm that will run properly under WinXP, 2000, Me and 98
Thanks.

Regards,
Cosmin

Try something like this:

DWORD size = 0;
vector<char> buf( MAX_PATH );
string appData;
size = ExpandEnvironmentStrings( "%APPDATA%", buf[0], buf.size() );

if ( size <= buf.capacity() )
{
   appData.assign( buf[0], size - 1 );
}
else if ( size > buf.capacity() )
{
   // buf isn't big enough.
}
else
{
   // An error happened.
}
