Re: Vista inconsistency(?)



I've got no direct access to that system; it's not even in my town... but
meanwhile I came to conclusion, which is confirmation of your information:
one should rely on env. vars - and perhaps this can be safe.

The problem was, that in just one place inside my script, I wrote the name
of sub-dir as text, which has been concatenated to variable. In effect I had
a directory name: "C:\Users\Mirek\Moje dokumenty" and it's quite valid
name, because there *really is* such sub-dir in his system.

In fact, as my colleague said (he isn't "tickling", he's just an user...),
the dirs names in Vista are localized by "symlinking" (or something like
that), but I don't know, what difference does that make for TCL-script; so
was the reason of my today's post.

As I saw on the screenshot, he sent: "Moje dokumenty" is a symlink(?) to
"Documents" ("hardcoded" name of that subdir is "C:\Users\Mirek\Documents").
Perhaps it's not symlink - but shortcut of different nature? I don't know
Vista, so I'm unable to explain it at the moment.
