Yeah, it's right. Thanks very much! May I ask one time more, how if the Windows is set to multi-user/profile mode: 1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion ProgramFilesDir = ??? 2. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders * = ??? 3. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders * = ??? (because I see this key inside file shfolder.dll) thanks! j> Hi, j> akusaya wrote: >> Thanks, it's right, but where is the program files dir (usually >> C:\Program files) ? >> [...] j> Hm..
