This is the directory where the main Notes files are placed. Search for NLNOTES.EXE and you are on the spot! You can also look in the Registry for the value of following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lotus\Notes\Path.
Please note that each version of Lotus Notes has it's own subkey in the Registry. The subkey above points to the most recent installation!
If you install Notes R5 in the default directories, the Notes Program Directory will be C:\Lotus\Notes. If you do the same with Notes 6, the default program directory will be C:\Program Files\Lotus\Notes. Starting from Notes 8, the default program directory will be C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes.

Very important: In order to have Notes C/C++ API based applications run correctly, these applications must know where to find the core Notes program files. The C and C++ API libraries use functions in all the DLLs! This is done by specifying the Notes Program Directory in the PATH environment variable. In Windows 95, 98 and ME, this is set in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file with the command SET PATH=%PATH%;<full path to the Notes Program Directory>In Windows NT, 2000, XP, 2003 server and Vista the PATH environment variable is set from the System applet in the Control Panel. Be sure to have Administrators Rights in order to change this variable's content.
