Hi
I'm making a program portable for my use, but i'm stuck with 2 folders:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data
These folders don't have a variable, the maximum that I could do is use %ALLUSERSPROFILE% and %USERPROFILE% but it wont work since "Application Data" and "Local Settings" changes its name in localized Windows versions.
Anyone may help me?

Acutually, the program shouldn't be storing settings in the All Users folder, or else it would require administrative privileges to run.
The $APPDATA variable points to "C:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\Local Settings\Application Data"
And points to "C:\Users\[USER]\AppData" in Windows Vista.
$APPDATA points to C:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\Application Data
That is different of C:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\Local Settings\Application Data
But thanks anyway!
Edit: I've found that $LOCALAPPDATA points to it.
Edit again: Found that
