Hey,

I must say this is EXTREEMLY useful for a nutcase like myself!

I infact had the exact problem you said most people have.

Thanks alot! It really helps!

hey,

sorry i couldnt reply earlier, I only saw my post now!

thank-you for your kind words!

so if the user changes their dir from say C:\WinNT\System32\ to C:\WindowsNT\System Files\ would i still be able to get the Windows DIR and System DIR?

also what about foreign languages?

it will still work for change dpaths... i used TweakXP to try it out on a few VMs and it worked fine... as far as other languaegs go... i only get English versions of OS's from MS so i dont know what the effects are, i suppose its teh same but i aint sure... amybe someone else maybe able to tell you.

When you need the Temp folder, the easy (and clean .Net way) is to use: Path.GetTempPath()
