Constants for Special Folders in Windows

[wraithdu]

I believe there's a block of values that are reserved for other things by the OS. My values were copied directly from MSDN, so there's shouldn't be any missing. Bear in mind that some of them (actually quite a few) don't work to retrieve an actual path, because they're virtual folders.

Hi @all,

I found this while looking for the specialfolder paths. I want to have the paths of the MyMusic, MyVideos and MyPictures. Of course I can read out this from the regestry but there is a information

"!Do not use this registry key"="Use the SHGetFolderPath or SHGetKnownFolderPath function instead

So I'm a bit confused. Can someone help me finding out the paths. The script opens the directory but I did not find a way to read out the proper path

Regards,

Alex

For example:

ConsoleWrite(_WinAPI_SHGetFolderPath(BitOR($CSIDL_MYMUSIC, $CSIDL_FLAG_NO_ALIAS)) & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite(_WinAPI_SHGetFolderPath(BitOR($CSIDL_MYVIDEO, $CSIDL_FLAG_NO_ALIAS)) & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite(_WinAPI_SHGetFolderPath(BitOR($CSIDL_MYPICTURES, $CSIDL_FLAG_NO_ALIAS)) & @CRLF)
