Hi Dan,

The DLL that I wrote, also contains functions to retrieve the Desktop, Start Menu and Programs folders. Admittedly, I haven't been able to test this on a machine with multiple user locations, but I believe the data returned is for the current user. It also comes with a help file, containing a number of tips and traps, and examples is written in VFP syntax for each of the functions. All you have to do is copy the examples and paste them into your program. Unfortunately, the documentation does contain some errata, which I will correct when I release the next version. If you use it, I suggest that you check the results returned by the function visually, and note these cases.

Here endeth the shameless self-promotion.:-)
