Hi,

I've been developing VFP apps on Windows 3.x, 95, and 98 for a long time. Recently, I upgraded to Windows XP professional. One big difference I notice with XP, is that Microsoft encourages user created files to be saved to either "My Documents" or "Shared Documents." XP "seems" to discourage creating subfolders directly off the main drive directory. In fact, I see XP messages which recommend not making any modifications within the main drive directory. I suppose this could be read a few different ways, which is why I'm trying to clarify this.

With Windows 95 and 98, I created a Client subdirectory/subfolder directly off the main C drive directory of my development machine, with many nested subfolders for various clients and their applications. However, after reading the XP messages, I'm not sure if this is standard practice anymore. I was wondering where other developers create VFP project directories/folders on their Windows XP development machines.
