Greetings,
I want to locate a ProgramData (or C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data). I'm using QStandardPaths class. I tried a bunch of different StandardLocations. But I always have C:/Users/myuser/... folder, i.e. not public folder. Currently I'm using windows API for that, but maybe I'm just doing something wrong.
Qt 5.4.0, Win7.

Some of these functions should return more than one item. Does none of them contain the path you need?

That's right, no one.

Hi, I also tried Qt for that directory, but alas, you have to venture into the bowels of Windows:
@
#include "shlobj.h"
@then:
@
TCHAR szPath[MAX_PATH];
SHGetFolderPath(NULL,CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA,NULL,0,szPath);
QString sCommonAppData = QString::fromWCharArray(szPath);
@
