%LOCALAPPDATA% should always contain the same value as would be returned from SHGetFolderPath with CSIDLLOCALAPPDATA. Except when it gets changed. Documentation should reflect the actual use in the code. If it uses the SHGetFolderPath, that is what should be documented; if it uses the environment variable, that is what should get documented. Users can easily change the environment variable (which might be a reason to use it, instead of SHGetFolderPath). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
