I recently made a program called: desktop 2! It places files on your desktop but only if you place the program on your desktop... and i want that the program puts the files on the desktop when you run the program somewhere else to.. but because windows could have more users i don't know how to do it.. can someone help me out here?

(sorry for my bad english, it's because i am dutch.)

you would have to use the CD command I think. But I've never done exactly what your talking about, so I'm not sure what the exact code would be.

Destroy you with my mind, I could!

You need to know the logged on user (there's a Windows Dll call, below). Then you would need to navigate through \Documents and Settings\ to the correct directory.

Well, looking at it:

That is a DBPro command for specifying Global variables (which DBClassic doesnt have...)

Hope I Helped...
