    Const CommonAppData = &H23&  ' the second & denotes a long integer '  Set objShell  = CreateObject('Shell.Application') Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(CommonAppData)  Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self  MsgBox objFolderItem.Name & ': ' & objFolderItem.Path 

    The MSDN holds a page that lists the other Shell Special Folder Constants.

    This page is nice, too: Enumerating Special Folders, part of the Microsoft Windows 2000 Scripting Guide. (Link is now defunct, but the Internet Archive still has a copy.)
