When you install a program, generally it has some of its info stored in a registry key, so you need to find where in the registry BlackOps info is, then what the info name of the install path is, after that you can just use VB's Registry class to pull the value at that location and voila, you have the install path.

Why? you can rename the file the way you want. "MyProgram.cfg", "Haxhaxhax.ini" or whatever

oh no no no that not what i mean .
i mean that you need to put your path to the folder .. you will decide where to put the .cfg file .
and more one thing :\ about the .ini file tutorial
how i do that if you Checked yes in checkbox1 that will put in .file something like:
checkbox1=youcheckedyes that i mean that you can put everything that you want if you checked yes and if it not so it will do the else of thing .

i do that:

Code:

        If inifile.ReadValue("General", "Box2", chkBox2.Checked) = True Then
            inifile.WriteValue("General", "Text", "cool")
        Else
            inifile.WriteValue("General", "Text", "notcool")
        End If

but its too big .. need something more small ..

you can try this TO save textbox in vb6

Code:

Dim fnum As Integer

fnum = FreeFile
    Open App.Path & "\config.ini" For Output As fnum
   
   Write #fnum, Text1.Text
    
    Close fnum

To load:

Code:

Dim fnum As Integer
Dim txt As String
fnum = FreeFile
Open App.Path & "\config.ini" For Input As fnum

 Input #fnum, txt
    Text1.Text = txt

Close fnum

Write a .txt or .cfg file:

Code:

Dim Writer As New IO.StreamWriter(Application.StartupPath & "/textfile.txt") ' If you want cfg just change .txt to .cfg Writer.Write(Textbox1.Text) Writer.Close

Check if a folder exists:

Code:

If IO.Directory.Exists("PATH") Then Msgbox("THe folder exists!") ' Or whatever Else Msgbox("The folder doesnt exists!") ' Or whatever End If

I'm kinda confsused on the reading myself...

If it put

Code:

 My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("C:\FD.txt")
        TextBox1.Text = ("C\FD.txt")

NVM, its

Code:

TextBox1.Text = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("C:\FD.txt")
