Retrieve 'Local Settings' Directory [Resolved]
I need to get the directory for Outlook where it stores the .pst
files under windows 2k & XP. This path under windows 2000 is
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
I can't get it through Outlook so I am trying to get it by getting a
related folder. I thought about the temp directory, but that will be
in a number of locations and could be changed. What would be
the best I think is to get the path to the "Local Settings" directory.
I don't want to depend on the path "C:\Documents and Settings\UserName
of always being the same because I'm not sure if it IS always the
same and cant be changed under 2000 & XP.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help.
