Directory Structure on Windows XP and Vista
The Conquest Protocol Suite application stores files in a specific directory
structure under the C:\Program Files\LeCroy\Conquest directory. It also
stores files in Windows-specific locations that differ for Windows
®
XP and
Windows Vista (which uses UAC).
In particular, Windows XP has a Documents and Settings\All Users folder,
and Windows Vista has a Users\Public folder, which are not equivalent.
The Windows XP All Users folder is not readily available to users and is for
storing shared files, to which normal user folders point using shortcuts.
The Windows Vista Users\Public folder and its subdirectories:
•
Are available to all users logged onto a system (not just the person who
installed the application).
•
Are not hidden.
•
Are always present, because it is provided by the Windows Vista OS
installation.
•
Are readable and writable by all users.
•
Do not require Administrator privileges.
Methods of using shared folders differ for the two operating systems, so the
Conquest Protocol Suite application stores files on them differently, as
described in the next two sections.
Windows XP

(such as sample files, user files, default files, and scripts) are in the
subdirectories:
