Bob,
Thats fine but the application directory is usually under Program Files, and
this is protected by UAC, in that writes are redirected to a user based
location, which will cause problems. What I really need is some clear
instructions from Microsoft on where I can store machine / program dependent
information that all users can access.
Thanks
Tim
