These changes are documents in MSDN
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.application.commonappdatapath(vs.80).aspx):

"If a path does not exist, one is created in the following format:
Base Path\CompanyName\ProductName\ProductVersion"

The changes to the registry follow the same pattern as above,
specifying that the keys are created if they don't exist.

Again from MSDN
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.application.commonappdataregistry(VS.80).aspx):
"Property Value:
A RegistryKey representing the registry key of the application data
that is shared among all users.
Remarks:
If the key does not exist, it is created in the following format:
LocalMachine\Software\CompanyName\ProductName\ProductVersion
"

Thanks,
