We were already speaking of getting rid of the leading dot. If the name is different at all from the Unix case, it'd be trivial to make it "psqlrc.txt" and "pgpass.txt" (I don't think the other ones need to be edited). > Bottom line: I think you're greatly overestimating the trouble caused by > the fact that the appdata folder is hidden. Whether we're overestimating it or not, we have to make a decision and we have to make it now. This thread is singlehandedly delaying the 8.0 release. Since I haven't seen any serious alternative proposed, I think we have to go with the CSIDL_APPDATA reference point. Given that decision it seems like the best names are APPDATA/postgresql/pgpass.txt APPDATA/postgresql/psqlrc.txt APPDATA/postgresql/psql_history APPDATA/postgresql/postgresql.crt APPDATA/postgresql/postgresql.key APPDATA/postgresql/root.crt Objections? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
