24 Introduction
All-user-level configuration folder
This is the configuration folder
found in the common user profile area. This folder is part of the standard
Windows and Macintosh operating system installations and is shared by all
users of a particular computer. Any files that are placed in this folder are
made available by the operating system to all users of the computer. Typical
paths to this folder are as follows:
■
In Windows 2000 or Windows XP, browse to boot drive \Documents
and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\
language \Configuration.
■
On the Macintosh, browse to Macintosh HD /Users/Shared/Application
Support/Macromedia/Flash 8/ language /Configuration.
Restricted Users configuration folder This is the folder for users with
restricted privileges on a workstation. Typically, in a networked
environment, only system administrators have administrative access to
workstations. All other users are given restricted access, which usually
means that these users can’t write to application-level files (such as the
Program Files directory in Windows or the Applications folder in
Macintosh OS X).
