Hi, i forgot how to detect the standard folder programs, example C:\PROGRAMS (english) or
C:\PROGRAMMI (ITALIAN)
In particular i installed a PDF995 printer driver and i need to know where it is located to modify at runtime a pdf995.ini file.
It seems placed in c:\programs\pdf995 under w2000 but under XP i found it in c:\pdf995 (!).
and under Win9x ?
tks

Forse ho posto io male la domanda: installando il pdf995 non mi chiede nessuna conferma di cartella di installazione ma crea su c:\programmi\pdf995 (cartella) dove mette dentro il programma mentre in
C:\Documents and Settings\All-Users\Menu Avvio\Programmi mette altre cose (link htm) a me interessa sapere DI C:\PROGRAMMI (se italiano) o C:\PROGRAMS (se inglese) ecc.. insomma dove si trova effettivamente il software.
Per un possibile test puoi scaricarti da www.pdf995.com (area download) pdf995 Printer Driver e il Free Converter
Grazie
