Hi Guys, I needed to get the shared app data folder and some others and figured while I was doing that I might as well get them all and post it here for you. Most of these you will never use, like the internet cache folder, etc..I have instructions how to remove these. The reason I did this was because SM only returns the current user's app data path, not the shared, unless there is a way of doing that that I missed? I am not supporting roaming so this made sense to me..I think? Damn Windows 7! Well anyways this gives you access to almost all of them, I may have missed a couple, and a few only returned CLSID's to virtual folders(like recycle bin), so I figured you would not need them..If you do the code is easy enough to edit them..

This runs on a VBScript and is in 2 parts, the OSM and the script, thats why its zipped, I figured I better mention that before someone gives me shit for posting a zip..

Just pass this the path to the script, and a path to a text file to use...If you want to optimize it, or tidy it up, that would be great, I just did a quick and dirty build... Good luck..

Before your first post

A few rules keep this a friendly place. You agree to them once.

Shown next to what you post, here and in the app. It doesn’t have to be your real name: 3–24 lower-case letters, digits or _ (capitals become lower case, spaces become _).

    Then your post goes up straight away.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
