What's the difference? When would you use either?

A:
Use the user header search paths for paths you want to searched for #include "..." and use the header search paths for #include <...>. Of course, if you check the option to always search user paths, then #include <...> will also work for the user paths.

thanks! Yeah i kind of figured that, but why would you use one or the other? To me, <> should be system includes only, and everything else should be in "", but that's just my training from programming in C.I guess <> could point to well-known libraries which are not system includes?

Yes, I think "well-known libraries" is about right. Personally I use < > for Boost headers as well as system headers.

did not know about Boost (http://www.boost.org/)! Thanks, it looks very interesting.
