Hi,

How do you specify the My Documents folder in your code?

<div>
You should use: Environment.GetFolderPath(<wbr />Environmen<wbr />t.SpecialF<wbr />older.MyDo<wbr />cuments)
</div>


You should use: Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments)

Hi, <br />
I have a class which iterates thru all the folders and sub folders on the c drive, in this process i have a simple If statement using INSTR function to look for My Documents<br />
So it finds no match when i pass it C drive, i then have a My Documents on my D Drive which then my process picks it up.

With Win7 (and Vista may be), these folders are difficult to access directly (sometimes even in Explorer). You may have to add special conditions and logic for these folders.

Hi,<br />
I have a small exe that i has a routine in to work out the folder size. I need to work out the folder size of My Documents. Problem is that i think windows 7 security is a problem when my exe runs as it is not picking up the default folder My Documents under c:\Users\Craig\My Documents.<br />
<br />
thanks a lot<br />
<br />

Microsoft Visual C++ (often abbreviated as MSVC or VC++) is an integrated development environment (IDE) product from Microsoft for the C, C++, and C++/CLI programming languages. It features tools for developing and debugging C++ code, especially code written for the Microsoft Windows API, the DirectX API, and the Microsoft .NET Framework. Many applications require redistributable Visual C++ packages to function correctly and are often installed independently of applications, allowing multiple applications to make use of the package while only having to install it once
