Hello all,

I wondered if there was a way to save a file in an area accessible by all users, e.g. %allusersprofile% rather than %localappdata%.

I need to store a config file.

Thanks,

James

You can use SetRawWritePath()

Read the description for SetFolder() to see what it does, limitations etc.

Thanks for your reply, fog.

I've used those commands before, but I think what I'm looking for doesn't currently exist within AGK. It would be nice to be able to use a command like 'SetRawReadWritePathToAllUsers()' to be able to store/read data in %allusersprofile%\AGK\MyApp or whatever.

I realise that I could hard-code this to c:\path, but it would fail if the computer's directory structure was different from the default Windows setup.
