We have code in our system in two places. Both sets of code are trying to determine the correct path to My Documents. Both seem to work.

Code Set 1:

oShell = createobject("wscript.shell")
m.cPath = oShell.SpecialFolders("MYDOCUMENTS")

Code Set 2:

oShell = createobject("Shell.Application")
oFolder = oShell.NameSpace(0x5)
m.cPath = oFolder.Self.Path

Aside from the obvious extra line of code in Code Set 2, is there a "better" choice between the two. What is the difference between wscript.shell and shell.application. Will both methods work on a Win98 machine?

Thanks for your help.
