Can any user access the %APPDATA% folder? Or can only administrators read & access that directory? Also, do the permissions to access this directory differ over different Windows platforms from 2k to Windows 7?
%AppData% is a user-specific path. Yes, any user can access %appdata%, but it will go to a different directory for each user. Only an administrator can read the appdata of another user.
Do the effort of actually going to %appdata% on your machine, and looking at the path it gets converted into. Do you see what I mean?
