>Is there a function that returns the name of the windows system folder?, I could just go ahead and put "windows\system" as a constant but of course it's not always the case, thanks in advance

I posted code earlier today that demonstrates how to use the GetSystemDirectory() API call; try:

DECLARE INTEGER GetSystemDirectory IN Win32API ;
	STRING  @cLocation, ;
	INTEGER nSize
LOCAL cLocation, nSize

cLocation = SPACE(256)
nSize = GetSystemDirectory(@cLocation, 256)

IF nSize > 0
   *
   * Got it - it's the size of the return
   *
   cLocation = LEFT(cLocation,nSize)
ELSE
   *
   *  An error occurred when retrieving the value - return the null string
   *
   cLocation = ''
ENDIF
