"My Documents" path is quite simple if you have LabVIEW 7.0 or newer. Just use the Default Data Directory path VI in the File Constants palette and remove one hierarchy level with Strip Path.

Any other way is either limited by things like language installation of your OS (a German Windows version calls this "Meine Dokumente" or something like that) and the actually current user name or is at least platform specific such as Winapi calls (which for this are not trivial since the functions to retrieve this information work not directly with paths but with a binary structure called IDList) or specific path elements such as ~ for the Unix home directory, which LabVIEW may or may not support.
To set the hidden attribute you wont't get around using Winapi calls but there have been other posts here with VI libraries that do that already.
