Program Files ???

XP was simple.
Your executables were installed under C:\Program Files\
documents associated with executables were under
C:\...\<username>\Applications\...

What I am asking has probably *already* been documented.
All I need is for somebody to point to it.
Tnx,
Charles

Sorry... must agree with Mr. Bob... you did not ask a question. You stated
something and left it at that...

Well you could install program files there but it would be unlikely.
Most people install them in \Program Files\* and the user data in
\Users\<somename>\AppData\Local|Roaming\*

be picked with

Actually, I find that a cutoff saw equipped with a diamond blade takes
appx. one second.
