How to get Windows Directory?

[Shelby]

Hi,
is there a better way to get the Windows directory?
I manage to get the system directory with :
System.Environment.SystemDirectory

So I was wondering how do I get the Windows directory?

So I was wondering how do I get the Windows directory?

System directory:

'Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System))'

Windows directory:

'System.Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables("%WinDir%")'

- or -

Trick by Bill McCarthy:

'System.Environment.GetFolderPath(CType(&H24, System.Environment.SpecialFolder))'

- or -

P/invoke on 'GetWindowsDirectory' (IMO the preferred way):
