Hi Simon,

I use this function to do that

String GetSpecialFolderPath(HWND Handle, int FolderNumber)
{
    LPITEMIDLIST  pID_List;       // Pointer to the Item Identifire List

    if (SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(Handle, FolderNumber, &pID_List) ==
NOERROR)
    {
        char SpecialFolderPath[MAX_PATH];

        if (SHGetPathFromIDList(pID_List, SpecialFolderPath))
            return String(SpecialFolderPath);
    }

    // Error
    // Example: if the location specified by the pidl parameter
    // is not part of the file system.
    return "";
}


void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
       // Calls
       String S1 = GetSpecialFolderPath(Form1->Handle, CSIDL_STARTUP);
       String S2 = GetSpecialFolderPath(Form1->Handle, CSIDL_STARTMENU);
       String S3 = GetSpecialFolderPath(Form1->Handle, CSIDL_PROGRAMS);
       String S4 = GetSpecialFolderPath(Form1->Handle, CSIDL_DESKTOP);
}

I hope it helps

Rodolfo
