I’m trying to access Windows XP’s Application Data – but I’m having a slight issue, I am using the following code:

 Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData)

This is working correctly in any other opperating system – but Windows XP – On Windows XP it directs them to: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data – this is not the folder I want.

I want to access: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data

I have tried to do:

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) & "\..\Local Settings\Application Data – but I am getting .NET ‘File Not Found’ Errors.

What should I do? Please and Thank You!

    I think what you are looking for on XP is Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData.
