>That's OK; I didn't list all the possible values and flags (I did give the name of the .H file to use, though.) Using it, or the SpecialFolders collection from the WSH Shell object, is going to become increasingly important for installation of components for our apps in the near future. It's about time someone wrote a book on it!

Ed,

Possibly some information that may be of interest to others. The only place I've been able to locate the include file (shfolder.h) is in the redistributable files directory that's created with the installation of the Platform SDK. IOW, it does not come with the MSDN Library. Is this your experience as well?
