How will it be possible to get the full path of selected special folders at 
runtime?

The true path of the special folders may differ and will be dependant on the 
language version of Windows.
e.g.
- "DeskTopDir"
- "WinSysDir"
- "ProgramFilesDir"
- "CommonFilesDir"
- "NyDocumentsDir"
.. etc

??

Try borland.public.delphi.nativeapi.general, or look for Win32 API
routines like:

  SHGetSpecialFolderLocation
  SHGetPathFromIDList
  SHGetSpecialFolderPath
  SHGetFolderPath
  SHGetFolderPathAndSubDir
