The %Public% environment variable #984

Hello,

I was reviewing the documentation and noticed a potential inconsistency regarding the %Public% environment variable mentioned in the readme.md file. The documentation states that %Public% expands to C:\Users\%UserName%\Public. However, based on my research:

  • The standard Windows environment variable PUBLIC (as listed in system references) points to C:\Users\Public

  • In the Windows API, the known folder constant FOLDERID_Public also resolves to C:\Users\Public

  • The path C:\Users\%UserName%\Public does not seem to be a standard or default Windows path for any known user folder.

Could you please clarify if the documented path (C:\Users\%UserName%\Public) is intentional (perhaps referring to a different, non-standard location) or if it's a typo that should be corrected to the standard C:\Users\Public?

Thank you.
