An example to get the system directory (works in BCB5) :-
#define NO_WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN

#include <shlobj.h>

#include <vcl.h>

#pragma hdrstop

//.... more headers and stuff ... and then ...

char bfr[300]; LPITEMIDLIST mjites; AnsiString sydir;

if (SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(Handle,CSIDL_SYSTEM,&mjites)==NOERROR)

{

  if (SHGetPathFromIDList(mjites,bfr))

    sydir=IncludeTrailingBackslash(AnsiString(bfr).LowerCase());

  CoTaskMemFree(mjites);

}
