dear builders,

i'm using the below function to retrieve the current temp folder, it
work ok, but i get this result:

"C:\DOKUME~1\Oren\LOKALE~1\Temp\ShowRecord-Tempfile"

BUT it should be:

"C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Oren\Lokale
Einstellungen\Temp\ShowRecord-Tempfile"

what do i need to get this full path and get rid of the ugly "~1"     ??

   char TempDir[MAX_PATH + 1]; TempDir[MAX_PATH] = '\0';
   GetTempPath(MAX_PATH, TempDir);

   String filename = "ShowRecord-Tempfile";

   return TempDir + filename;
}
