Hey,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with locating the user documents via the registry keys. Im having the problem where I can not write to the files of my program because it has been burnt onto a CD, which I obviously cant modify as rapidly as I need to.

Im just looking for some code which will allow me to set the a variable, e.g. GLOBAL userdocuments$ AS STRING, to the location i need.

If I could get a fast reply that would be great,

Thanks, Arenas
