>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.

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.

Dave,
I should have missed that recommendation :) I have all my projects under a folder like :
d:\VFPProjects
d:\VFPCommon && For files common to all projects
I prefer d: instead of c: as I like to keep c: ready to be formatted/reinstalled. IOW in C I only have files that I'd not be very sorry if I lose them for any reason. However in the same manner I do not completely trust D: and using VSS and take copies of work on to c: and CD as well (paranoia:)
