Where to save some simple data?

Question

I'm wondering where's the best place to save some simple insensitive data? Like a few URLs and some settings.

Please advise.

Answer 1

If this is a per-user file, you should save it in the current user's profile. For example, on my Windows 7 system, you should use

C:\Users\Andreas Rejbrand\AppData\Local\Your Company Name\Your Product Name\Version

such as

C:\Users\Andreas Rejbrand\AppData\Local\Rejbrand\AlgoSim\2.0

To get the C:\Users\Andreas Rejbrand\AppData\Local path, you use the SHGetSpecialFolderPath function.
