There are some potential bugs in that code.  Try this instead:

    LPITEMIDLIST List = NULL;
    AnsiString Full;

    if( SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(0, CSIDL_APPDATA, &List) == 0 )
    {
        char Path[MAX_PATH+1] = {0};
        if( SHGetPathFromIDList(List, Path) )
        {
            Full = IncludeTrailingBackslash(Path) + societe;
            ForceDirectories(Full);
        }
    }

    ChVista = Full;

Under Vista, CSIDL_APPDATA it should be returning the complete path to the 
user's "Roaming" folder.  Vista doesn't even have a "Document and Settings" 
folder like XP did.

That is what it is supposed to do.  The "Roaming" folder is the actual 
CSIDL_APPDATA folder under Vista.  Refer to MSDN for details:

    CSIDL
    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762494.aspx

    KNOWNFOLDERID
    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762584(VS.85).aspx

Under Vista, you should be using KNOWNFOLDERIDs instead of CSIDLs now.

> And my application dont find the folders.

Please show your actual code for accessing the files.  The path returned by 
SHGetSpecialFolderLocation() is a valid folder path and should be used as-is 
with whatever subfolders you need to add to it.  When your code fails, you 
are probably not actually accessing the folder you think you are accessing.

That is likely Vista's "Folder Redirection" feature at work.
