Finding the windows directory

With the LabVIEW application builder, I can choose to put a file, such as an
..ini file, into the windows directory.

Now, I need to read the file in my program, but I can't find a variable
available that returns the windows directory, so I'm just using a path
constant C:\Windows. But I know I can't continue using this, because the
windows directory for Windows NT, or 2000, will be C:\WinNT.

Can anybody tell me how to access the windows directory?

Thanks

Hi Slade,

In the Winsys.llb you have the vi Get Windows Path.vi

Good luck,
