Hi all,
I have been playing with v 3.075 a little.

While testing the Au3Macros (FULL Test of Auto-it Switches and innate variables.zip by Van Renier), I found out that :
FavoritesDir and FavoritesCommonDir are resolving to same folder on W2K and XP machines (haven't tested on NT4), i.e, currently logged-on user's Favorites folder.

If I understand correctly, FavoritesCommonDir should point to %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Favorites.

Any correction if I have not understood correctly is welcome.

On my machine they resolve to the correct folders

Windows XP
AutoIt v 3.075

I also tested this on my Windows 2000 sp3 machine at work and it worked correctly also ... maybe it was just a fluke?

Works fine for me, too.

psichosis, a fluke is still a bug, right?

I suggest looking at the following two registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

Yup ... just a bug ... has a better personality though

I checked it again on a few machines and it seems to point correctly. I will have to check my home machine to see what went wrong.

I guess after copying the configured admin profile to default profile may have caused the registry key swap/discrpency.

Thanks CyberSlug for the tip on registry keys to look at. I will report later in the night (Finnish Time )

Reporting back:
For some peculiar reason, the machine on which I did not get the right pointer, does not have a:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\ Favorites key at all, it simply resolves to the only Favorites it finds, the CurrentUsers instead.

After all it is not a bug , not even a fluke
Thanks
