Hi All,
Having an *old age* brain fart today.
What do you type into the Windows 7 search field to find the location
path to a CSIDL folder on that particular computer?
Thanks.

If you're referring to %APPDATA% then that's how you get there.
This isn't exactly a KNOWNFOLDERID. This is just expanding the system
environment variable.
You can go to a command prompt and type "SET" then press [ENTER] to
see the various environment variables that you can use for that.
This is not necessarily the same as the APIs available for translating
a CSIDL.

Thanks Jeff....
I tried that with %COMMON_DOCUMENTS% and didn't get the results I
expected so I figured I must have done something wrong.
