Finding Application Data folder

Hi,

I can use the SHGetSpecialFolderPath function to find a link to the current user's Application Data folder by passing CSIDL_APPDATA. However, I need a link to the Application Data folder in 'All Users', not the current user.

Is there a quick, easy way of getting this?

Is it perhaps just a matter of updating one of my header files since my Visual Studio was written for '98 when such a folder didn't exist.

Thanks for your help,
Jim

CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA
Version 5.0. Application data for all users. A typical path is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data.

Thanks. but in my version, there is no CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA, only CSIDL_APPDATA. Where can I get the new header file or whatever it is I need?

Thanks.
