Does anyone know of a simple way to retrieve WITH CODE
the path to special folders such as the 'My Documents'
or 'Application Data' folders. I can do it with api
calls using sffolder, etc but I would like to avoid those
in the future and thought that would be possible in
vb.net 2003.

I can use the Folder Browser dialog tool in Vb.net 2003
but then it seems that it must be displayed to the
User!. I want to retrieve and use the special folders
directly and only from code. Is there a way to use the
folder browser to get the root folder path without
displaying the dialog?
 
Hi,

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal)

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData)
