3.18 Directory Structure on Windows XP and Vista
The UWBTracer/Trainer application stores files in a specific directory structure under the
C:\Program Files\LeCroy\UWBTracer 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
UWBTracer/Trainer application stores files on them differently, as described in the next
two sections.
