Body
For your application binaries, you can assume that you may write to the PROGRAM FILES directory (use the %ProgramFiles% environment variable to support installations other than the default English version - e.g. in german Installations this will be c:\Programme by default). <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Wikipedia</a> lists the most common variables. Another option are the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762181%28VS.85%29.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SHGetFolderPath</a> or newer <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762188%28VS.85%29.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SHGetKnownFolderPath</a> functions. For User data, you should assume that the application is running with limited access rights and may only write to the user's home directory. Same applies for registry entries. This path should probably be configurable b the user, as the home directory may actually be a network server and a user might have a second disk attached for data storage. For information on the current (Vista) filesystem guidelines see <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=88AD7E7C-4068-48B8-9503-E160A6693BBA&displaylang=en" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this article</a>. Regarding plugins, this might be more complicated. The best practice seams to be offering the option to install for the current user only, and placing the plugin in the user directory, or install for all users and place the files into your program files directory (but remember to check for write permission and request elavated access if needed).

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
