Remarks

The interpretation of certain KNOWNFOLDERID values depends on whether the folder is part of a 32-bit or 64-bit application and whether that application is running on a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. If your application needs to distinguish between, for example, Program Files and Program Files (x86), you must use the right KNOWNFOLDERID for the situation.

The following tables summarize the KNOWNFOLDERID use in those cases.

We have used environment strings to provide generic paths throughout this topic. The following tables give examples of the paths those environment strings represent. In some cases, these paths might not match those on a particular computer because of choices made during installation or later folder redirection. Note that some paths have changed for Windows Vista.

Windows Vista and later
Environment String Example Path
%ALLUSERSPROFILE% C:\ProgramData
%APPDATA% C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming
%LOCALAPPDATA% C:\Users\username\AppData\Local
%ProgramData% C:\ProgramData
%ProgramFiles% C:\Program Files
%ProgramFiles(x86)% C:\Program Files (x86)
%PUBLIC% C:\Users\Public
%SystemDrive% C:
%USERPROFILE% C:\Users\username
%windir% C:\Windows
Windows XP and earlier
Environment String Example Path
%ALLUSERSPROFILE% C:\Documents and Settings\All Users
%APPDATA% C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data
