JauntePE Special Folders

#1 Post by redllar »

The contents of the [SpecialFolders] section of the JPE runtime ini has never really been explained anywhere, so that's what this thread is for. To start with, here's a list of all of the currently used folder numbers (as of Vista) and their associated JPE default relative paths and summary descriptions. The JPE default relative path is what would be used if you don't override the special folder with your own relative path within the [SpecialFolders] section. Hope that makes sense.

The "Summary Description"s have all been summarized from this MSDN Library web page.

My apologies for not getting all of the descriptions in yet.
