Hi Thomas,
Thank you. I just wonder if there is an installer that would replace my winkit
and do all that it does plus install my game menu and game of life to where you
said that it belongs and then have self extracting zip files that would also be
able to find that folder.
But I thought that having the games write their files to documents\kitchensinc
would allow the games to run no matter where they were installed since I was
told that Windows does not let them be written to program files\kitchensinc.
Thanks again.

Hi Jim and all,
I can answer that question. Generally speaking on all 32-bit versions
of Windows your programs would go in a folder like
c:\Program Files\Kitchensinc
and all yourdata files would go in a place like
c:\Documents and Settings\User Name\App Data\Kitchensinc.
However, on newer 64-bit versions of Windows such as Vista, Windows 7,
and Windows 8 those paths are totally different. Older 32-bit programs
go in
c:\Program Files (x86)\Kitchensinc
while the data for themshould go in
c:\Users\User Name\App Data\Kitchensinc.
That said, you can do what I do and just install the games locally in
a folder like
c:\Users\User Name\Kitchensinc
which will make them UAC compliant, and user specific just by
installing them locally rather than system wide. Its a hack, of
course, but works. :D
