How to find location of Media directory?

Sometimes the Media directory is in \Windows\Media, sometimes it is in \WINNT\Media, and possibly other places.  Is there any way to know where it is without searching?

Thanks for any ideas!

There is probably a better way than this (I hope):

    Dim mediaFolder As String
    mediaFolder = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("windir") & "\Media"
    MsgBox("Exists: " & System.IO.File.Exists(mediaFolder), MsgBoxStyle.Information, mediaFolder)
