Looks good (as usual) but I notice that you are missing the CD Burning folder.

I'll look, I probably do someplace. Lately I've been finding code and information that I thought I had lost years ago.

Edit:

Does this help?

CSIDL_CDBURN_AREA (0x003b)

Version 6.0. The file system directory acting as a staging area for files waiting to be written to CD. A typical path is C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning.

thanks for your input !!

Const $CD_Burning_Folder = 0x003b

I have added it in the first post.

No problem!! I looked through the rest of the file that I had that in and lo & behold I was smart enough to copy the page link at the bottom of the file. You may find more here.

Edit: I have a script that takes all of the UDF's apart and creates a separate HTM file for each function. It also creates a master list of all The constants found in all the include files so if you don't mind I'll add your constants into that list.

Guys what about Windows Explorer?

Thanks,

[GEOSoft]

Guys what about Windows Explorer?

Thanks,

Windows Explorer is not a folder therefore there is no folder constant for it.

You canhowever use ShellExecute() to call Explorer.exe and use a folder constant as a parameter.

If you mean the Windows folder then just use @WindowsDir

[jennico]

this is very nice.

to make it more convenient, please declare them in Global scope and add a prefix to all, like $SF_Internet_Explorer.

thx jennico

edit: the sorting by value is okay, and the prefix is recommended to create a unique constant.

I see now. And don't use tabs. Use spaces. This is the last time. Variable names are upper case to satisfy the AutoIt convention purists.
