Description

Under property value, the page says this:

This path will be different depending on whether the Windows Forms application is deployed using ClickOnce. ClickOnce applications are stored in a per-user application cache in the C:\Documents and Settings\username directory. For more information, see Accessing Local and Remote Data in ClickOnce Applications.

The path describes the username directory as existing under "Documents and Settings" which is not the correct location under Windows 10 and beyond.
