I need to place application data on this path <C:\Documents and
Settings\alluser\Application Data> for *any Windows installed*.
I used this code:
     char Path[MAX_PATH+1];
     SHGetSpecialFolderPath(GetActiveWindow(), Path, CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA ,
TRUE);
but CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA  can't be used if Shell and Common Controls
Versions 5 is not installed.
So How is it possible to get this directory path <C:\Documents and
Settings\alluser\Application Data> on Windows 95/98 that have Shell and
Common Controls Versions 4.70 ?
