    If the account you are running the program on has administrative privlieges, can’t you just navigate to c:\Users\<UserName>\Music(which is the path on Windows7).
    If you’re looking for folders of users on another machine, then that is more difficult.

    EDIT:
    It appears that there is a way to do this, from MSDN: 

    HRESULT SHGetKnownFolderPath(
  __in   REFKNOWNFOLDERID rfid,
  __in   DWORD dwFlags,
  __in   HANDLE hToken,
  __out  PWSTR *ppszPath
);

    With the rfid being the KNOWNFOLDERID of the folder you are looking for in the case of My Music:

    GUID{2112AB0A-C86A-4FFE-A368-0DE96E47012E}
Display NameMusicFolder 
Type PERUSER
Default Path: %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries\Music.library-msCSIDL 
Equivalent None, new in Windows 7
Legacy Display Name Not applicable
Legacy Default Path Not applicable
