Getting the My Documents folder pathname from CVI

[Jamie Fraser]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to get the pathname for the My Documents folder for the currently logged on user from CVI. The SDK help mentions it mentions objects and properties and I'm not sure how or if these can be utilised from within CVI.

Thanks

Jamie,

This should do it:

RegReadString (REGKEY_HKCU, "Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Shell Folders", "Personal", 
         resultstring, PATHLEN, &keysize);

You'll need to use the programmers toolbox (..\toolslib\toolbox\toolbox.h) .
