I still think that the path returned by one of the Shell functions will be tied to IE's internet cache folder. Regardless, I put together some code that uses a cousin of the function you referenced to return the path of a special folder. Like Ed said, I recommend instead creating your own working folder. This function is a little more likely to be installed on a target machine than the WSH, but is still tied to v 4.71 or later of Shell32.dll.
