There are lots of computers where there is no C:\Program Files, but for example C:\Programme or C:\Archivos de programa. Thats just ****wittery on the part of Microsoft. You wouldn't go into a unix install in france or spain and expect to see /maison or /casa instead of /home. Major OS paths should be standardised no matter what the locale. |

It should be possible for a user who installed a system in English to switch it over to something like Spanish and have all of the software translate as well without any negative consequences. I'm not sure whether Linux allows it to consistently change on demand (I doubt it) but Windows should have made it possible considering they charge for the operating system. |

Yes, that's exactly the idea. All programs are supposed to call the SHGetKnownFolderPath() Windows SDK function to find out the current name of such folders, so that they could continue to work after such switch. |

If you move an app it should keep working. -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger. They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again. https://youtu.be/H4NW-Cqh308 |
