how to get the local user home path etc.

[tropfen]

I would like to get the environment information for the current local user on an win xp or win 2000 system. The information should include the current home path of the user and the current temp directory.

Any help will be appreciatet.
Thanks in advance
Frank

See GETDRIVEDIRQQ in module IFPORT, for example.

USE DFWIN
CHARACTER(MAX_PATH):: sTemp, sHome
INTEGER::             iLen
iLen = GetTempPath(LEN(sTemp), s??mp)
iLen = ShGetSpecialFolderPath(0, sHome, CSIDL_PROFILE,0)

CSIDL_PROFILE returns the user settins root directory (typically Documents and SettingsUserName). Do not assume that "My documents" is within it if you need it (it is not for me, on the first place) -- use CSIDL_PERSONAL instead. Also, CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA is the place where you should store your computer-global configuration files, and CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA is the place for user-specific files.
