Does Microsoft have a best practices document regarding the storage of App Data vs User Data on different Windows Platforms?

由 孤人 提交于 2019-11-27 12:27:12
When creating an application that will be targeted to many versions of Windows what is the best practice to determine where application specific data should be stored. Specifically: Application Specific Data (e.g. app config data) User Specific Data/Settings I know on Windows Vista for instance there are environment variables, like %APPDATA%, that could be used, but what about Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows 98. My main question is, does Microsoft have a best practices doc for this, outlining the file system locations for the different types of data (app vs. user) and the security implications

IIS 7.5 application pool uses wrong %APPDATA% for custom user as identity

I want my MVC3 web application to access %APPDATA% (e.g. C:\Users\MyUsername\AppData\Roaming on Windows 7) because I store configuration files there. Therefore I created an application pool in IIS with the identity of the user "MyUsername", created that user's profile by logging in with the account, and turned on the option "Load User Profile" (was true by default anyway). Impersonation is turned off. Now I have the problem that %APPDATA% (in C#): appdataDir = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) resolves to c:\windows\system32\inetsrv instead of C:\Users

问题 As above, how do I get the AppData folder in Windows using C? I know that for C# you use Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData 回答1: Use SHGetSpecialFolderPath with a CSIDL set to the desired folder (probably CSIDL_APPDATA or CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA). You can also use the newer SHGetFolderPath() and SHGetKnownFolderPath() functions. There's also SHGetKnownFolderIDList() and if you like COM there's IKnownFolder::GetPath(). 回答2: If I recall correctly it should just be #include <stdlib.h> getenv(

Are there guidelines for which of these

SHGetFolderPath() for a specific user

问题 I'm looking for a good way to get the local application data folder for a specific user -- without having to enter the login details for that user. SHGetFolderPath() can accept an access token for whatever user I want to get the local appdata folder for, but to get an access token, you have to provide the user's password. Also, according to the docs this isn't supported on <= Windows 2000. The registry key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folder contains the
