Virtual Folder Names / Env Paths

Top  Previous  Next

The following virtual folders are available for specification in the search folder list. Using them won't effect search speed and can keep your configuration valid even if you use a portable usb drive, etc.:

 

%USERPROFILE%

%USERNAME%

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%

%MYDOCUMENTS%

%MYFAVORITES%

%MYDESKTOP%

%MYSTARTMENU%

%COMMONSTARTMENU%

%PROGRAMFILES%

%MYPICTURES%

%MYMUSIC%

%MYVIDEO%

%MYAPPDATA%

%COMMONAPPDATA%

%COMMONMUSIC%

%COMMONPICTURES%

%COMMONVIDEO%

%FONTS%

%SYSTEMDIR%

%FARRDIR%

%CONFIGDIR%

%FARRUSERDATADIR% (refers to the MyLocalData) directory which is the recommended place to store user settings and user-modifiable files that should not be overwritten on farr updates.  this can be customized by the user to be anyplace on drive.

 

You can also use relative directories in the search folder tab:

 

..\etc (up one directory)

\blah (on root directory of the program drive)

 

 

When specifying alias commands you may occasionally want to refer to the home directory of the alias:

 

%ALIASDIR%
