hi all,

typing "%APPDATA%" into explorer brings me to my application data folder for my user account.

i know there are other things that can be inserted in between the % signs to get to other folders.

is there a listing of these? or

what are these things called?

thanks,
chipy
 
Environment variables.
In a command prompt, the command SET by itself will list all defined ones. You can also define new ones with SET.
Within the Windows GUI, Start>Control Panel>System>Advanced>Environment Variables will also let you view and define them.

Oh, and some are built into Windows (like APPDATA) so those won't show up explicitly in System/Advanced/Environment Variables, but you can see them from the command prompt with SET.
 
thanks a lot MSCoder610!! i'm always trying to learn more about windows ... thanks for your insight!
