How do I get the application data path in Windows using C++?

Question

I looked all over the internet and there doesn\'t seem to be a decent solution that I could find. I want to be able to programmatically in C++ obtain the path \"%ALLUSERSPRO

Answer 1

you can also read the value from the registry

path = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

key = Common AppData
