DECLARE INTEGER SHGetFolderPath ;
   IN SHFOLDER.DLL ;
   INTEGER hwndOwner, ;
   INTEGER nFolder, ;
   INTEGER hToken, ;
   INTEGER dwFlags, ;
   STRING @ pszPath
DECLARE INTEGER GetActiveWindow ;
   IN WIN32API

#DEFINE CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS          46

LOCAL ;
   lcPath

* *** windows system folder
lcPath = REPL(CHR(0),261)
=SHGetFolderPath(GetActiveWindow(), CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS, 0, 0, @lcPath)
?ADDBS(LEFT(lcPath,AT(CHR(0),lcPath)-1))

the 'shlfolder.h' i've put together myself (since i coulldn't find it anywhere). you can get some declare's in the msdn help under

Locating the Standard Folders Where Data Belongs

and

Query the Registry for Directory Names
