You could use environ function to know it<br />
<br />
This will show you all possible dta that you could get with that function:<br />
<br />
Sub test()<br />
Dim i As Integer, s As String<br />
<br />
i = 1<br />
Do<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; s = Environ(i)<br />

Hi,<br />
In VB6 I'm trying to write some application data to my {app}/temp path, but that only works in WinXP if you are administrator. If you are a normal user you get the access denied message. <br />
<br />
So, to work around this problem, I'm trying to detect in VB6 the folders...<br />
{username} documents<br />
{shared} documents for all users<br />
...to add data created by the user and write my application-depended data.<br />
<br />
Who can help me with this? In code or links to information about this.<br />
<br />
With greetings, A.C.<br />

How to detect XP users document folder and appl data folder

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
