What error was that.
It is very difficult to help without knowing the problem.

So, what do you have?
We can't tell you what you did wrong without seeing what you did.

Examples have been posted several times.

www.groups.google.com is a great place to find info.

For instance, I know Remy has posted code several time, so I Googled
for "SHGetSpecialFolderLocation Remy borland"
http://groups.google.com/groups/search?hl=en&q=SHGetSpecialFolderLocation+Remy+borland&qt_s=Search

There are links on that page that will give you code.

Thank you very much I have seen the mails, but when I try to do,I have again 
a linker error:
"Multiple declarations for"FOLDERSETTING" and other.
I have add in my .h file of my cpp file
#define NO_WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include <shlobj.h>
like wrote in the mail
And ths "AnsiString GetPaths(int) it is not a windows function?I have not 
found it in the SDK help as "SHGETSPECIALFOLDERPATH.H" include file I have 
not in the SDK
I try to write in a writable zone for Vista and XP but problems!!
Thank you again
Patrick

Don't put it there.
Put it on the very first line of your cpp, before the first #include

Windows know Nothing about AnsiString.
AnsiString is a Borland product.

You need to add that to the Conditionals list inside the Project
Options instead of in your code.

No, it is not.

There is no such include file.  That is not how the SDK works.
shlobj.h is the correct include file to use.

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);

}
