I'm working on a tool called Link Removed, which will help manage Windows 7 Virtual Machines. When run, the tool first tries to locate the Virtual Machines folder. I wasn't able to get the folder's location from the system, so I'm relying on the location of another system folder. My problem is that I don't know if the VM folder's name is always "Virtual machines", even on non-English installations.

So, if you have a non-English installation (pro and above), do you have the following folder:
C:\Users\<your user>\Virtual Machines ?
If not, is the Virtual Machine part translated to your language?

Thanks!

I found some information regarding the presence and potential translation of the "Virtual Machines" folder in non-English Windows 7 Pro installations. Here's a summary of the findings:
1. The "Virtual Machines" folder might not have the same name in all non-English installations of Windows. Users reported variations in the folder name based on the language: - German: The folder is translated to "Virtuelle Maschinen." - Dutch: The folder is named "Virtuele machines."
2. It is advisable to cater to these language differences when designing your tool to locate the virtual machines folder accurately across various language settings.
