Huh?
Ok let me explain this..
This is a short path "C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\" (6 chars then a '~1'; Generally used for programs that accept appargs, the args are separated by spaces, thus a path must not have spaces in it.)
This is the above, but in full path format "C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ADMINISTRATOR\LOCAL SETTINGS\" (This is what I am trying to get, from a path string determined at runtime, which may vary from computer to computer.)
P.S. Escape sequences are only valid/used at compile time, not runtime (and if they were debuglog should have an error when trying to print temp_dir, because as far as I know ~1 is not a valid escape seq), and have nothing to do with what i am attempting to achieve.
