Hopefully there are still people reading this newsgroup...
I am working on a new Delphi project called DupZapper which intends to open
a directory which contains many duplicate files (in this case, email), and
then find the duplicates and move them to a separate ZAP directory. I can
hard code the email directory and then use the Open Dialog to select all the
files in the folder I want to ZAP, and perhaps that is easiest and best. But
I would like to know how to navigate to the directory in case I want to use
this application on a different computer or for a different user. My email
directory is:
C:\Users\paul_000\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Peschoen (paul)
It would be easy enough to store this file location in a text file for the
application so it can be edited, or perhaps it is available in the registry.
I don't do much with Delphi lately and I'm rather rusty, and want to
maintain at least a modicum of familiarity and competence.
Thanks,
Paul
