Coming from VB6, I can detect the My Documents and Application Data
directories using APIs.

Does VB.NET have its own methods to return these values and if so, what are
they.

The vs.net help function is useless.

If you have VB2005, try Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData
and Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments.

Darn,

Now why didn't I get that memo???? Could you forward that to me Aaron, as
I'm sure you're so all-fired important to MS that they keep you fully
apprised of every move they're making.
