We have an application that needs to find a specific subfolder under
Windows/system32. We want the folder to be the same regardless of the
logged in user. Within our development environment we are using
GetWindowsDirectory() and that returns the expected system path regardless
of user. When testing under Windows 2003 Server, however, the returned
system32 folder is under the Documents and Settings folder and is specific
to each user.
Does anyone know an alternative to ::GetWindowsDirectory() that will return
the actual system path (i.e. c:\windows\system32\)?
Thanks.
