Windows folder

[Barkruk]

I have made a program that uses an ini-file. I want the ini-file to be placed in the Windows folder, but how do I know what folder the Windows folder is? I am workin under NT, so my Windows Folder is \WINNT\ , but people who re running 9x have the folder \WINDOWS\ . So how can my program know wich folder the Windows folder is?

Use the following API call:

Public Declare Function GetWindowsDirectory Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetWindowsDirectoryA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, ByVal nSize As Long) As Long

private sub GetPath() as string
dim strRes as string

strRes = space(255)
strRes = left(strRes, getWindowsDirectory(strRes, len(strRes)))
GetPath = strRes

end sub

Public Declare Function GetWindowsDirectory Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetWindowsDirectoryA" _
    (ByVal lpBuffer As String, ByVal nSize As Long) As Long

Public Function GetWindowsFolder() As String
    Dim Temp As String * 260
    GetWindowsFolder = Left(Temp, GetWindowsDirectory(Temp, 260))
End Function

WinDir = GetWindowsFolder


Hope this helps,
