Hello,
I have seen applications that run a "special" program when they are run for
the first time. I need to allow the user to choose a file location the
FIRST time they run the app. I am not sure how to do this. Any help would
be greatly appreciated!
Michael

Hi Michael,
You could write a key to the registry after the "RunOnce" Application has
been run.
So when you start, check the registry, if no entry then run your App, if you
have an entry then then just continue.

You can do as Doug said - or - have the program check if a file (you name
it) exists on startup
if the file does not exist run the special part of the program - then have
the program to create the file.
the next time it runs, the file will exist and so it will skip the special
program
