File locations in Other file-related components

The following table gives the location for different file types.

Location	Example file types	Description
On the emulator (default): epoc32\release\winscw\udeb\ epoc32\release\winscw\urel\ On the emulator, e.g. for text notifiers: \sys\bin\tnotifiers On the device: \sys\bin\	.exe, .app, .dll, .ani, .ctl, .fep, .mdl, .csy, .ldd, .pdd, .prt, .ECOMIIC, .PLUGIN	Location of all binaries The OS will refuse to load any binary not in \sys\bin\ Code without AllFiles (or TCB) capability will never be able to read (or write) anything under \sys\ Note that for the emulator when PlatSecEnforceSysBin is enabled (in the epoc.ini file) executables found under \system will not be able to be loaded
\private\\	.doc, .txt, .xml, .dat, .ini, .mbm, .rsc	Location of all private data files (e.g. if the file is to be accessed only by the application itself) The directory name under \private is determined by the SecureId (SID) of the process. If a SID is not specified, the UID3 provided in the mmp file is used Under the \private directory, programs without the AllFiles capability will only ever be able to see their own directory
Applications on the emulator, or built into the ROM must provide registration files in: \private\10003a3f\apps\ Applications installed via Software Install must provide registration files in: \private\10003a3f\import\apps\	_reg.rsc	The private system directory for an application's registration file The directory must always be on the same drive as the application These paths are true for both the emulator and target device
\resource\apps\	.rsc, .mbm	Read access is allowed by all Write access only by processes with AllFiles capability
\resource\plugins\	.rsc	Specifically for ECom registration resource files for ECom plugins Read access is allowed by all
Central Repository API \private\\	.txt	If the file is read/write-only, and access to it needs controlling through capabilities, then use the Central Repository API, not a file at all.
