CSDIL_MYDOCUMENTS is definitely not working on XP or 2000, 
whereas CSDIL_PERSONAL is working on both.
I have used both the IDE and a MessageBox to see what value I 
get.

Thanks - will change this.

I still have the problem that I cannot be sure to get the My 
Documents on a local drive, I do not want to (possibly) use a 
server location. What is the best option to use to find a 
location for the user data to be stored? Should I use Local 
Settings\Application Data ?

Thanks,
JB
