| | Installing applications for personal use I'm trying RC1/5600 and I have noticed that if I install a program that has been designed to install for just the user installing it, the Start Menu shortcuts get created for all users. One of the tools I have to test this with is an installer I wrote myself, and using this I can see clearly that although it correctly obtains the installation path for the shortcuts as Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs, and even creates a correctly named folder there, the shortcut itself gets written to ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs . Has Vista decided that the shortcuts should be created there and not in the path I specified, and if so, why? |
