Sergey,

I tried that. It works! I think I tried this originally and got the empty string. I passed in "My Documents", instead of "MyDocuments", because the folder name is "My Documents" not "MyDocuments". But I see from the documentation that you sent me that it is a collection with a given name for each item in the collection, not a reference to the actual folder name

Thanks again!

>>Hello again. I implemented my function to return the path to 'my documents', using a hard coded 16 for the path to the my documents folder. It worked fine on my testing on my machine. But now the QA group is QA'ing my application remotely, using Citrix. On the QA person's machine the return value is for the path is:

>>C:\Documents and Settings\qausersname\Start Menu\Programs
