Using SHGetSpecialFolderPath() to get the localized name of the "Program Files" folder
Someone asked this:
What is the proper way to find the localised name of the "Program Files" directory?
The SHGetSpecialFolderPath have no constant for this folder.
I currently use the registry setting:HKLM/Pmail/Attachments/TopDir value
This works for all platforms from HPC Pro to WindowMoble 2003. I suppose this can be subject to change in the future.
There is a constant that was added in Ozone: CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES. You may need a newer version of the SDK.
