path for System directory ?

[Eek]

What is the path for the system directory ? I know it<s c:/windows/system but what if the machine runs under win nt or win 2k ....is there some kind of absolute path in VB that will adjust the path according to the OS ?

You can do it with the GetSpecialFolder method of the FileSystemObject.

There is no need to link your application to scrrun.dll(for a file system object) for that.

Use GetSystemDirectory and GetWindowsDirectory API function for that.

The declares are:
Declare Function GetWindowsDirectory Lib &quot;Kernel&quot; _
(ByVal lpbuffer As String, ByVal nsize As Integer) As Integer

Declare Function GetSystemDirectory Lib &quot;Kernel&quot; _
(ByVal lpBuffer As String, ByVal nSize As Integer) As _
Integer

Hope this helps, s-)
