Special folder names

http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/shell/

that gives the location, but not the names fo the folders
eg in dutch it is "Mijn Documenten" in english it is "My Documents"
in french it is....

I do not know if this will work for you due to french but it may help you in some way.

i said already, i do know how to find the folders, but how can i find the local name?

take the last part of the location...

that is not a good solution, since some people change the location  (like me, i have it stored in f:\data\documents)

but the local name is Mijn Documenten

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DocFolderPaths

good point...

nice find egl1044-it works

you might also want to try:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

for the other special folders...

that works excellent!

thank you

oh and justchat_1:

there i find the registry key "personal", with the contents:

"f:\data\documents"



and the key of egl1044:

there is only the key "Mark" (my user name)
with contents:
"f:\data\documents"
