I was wondering, on a Windows platform is there any API/CSIDL to retrieve the Library folder path for the Public user account?
Path like this: “C:\Users\Public”

Don’t use environment variables for this. Use the correct API for this, which is SHGetKnownFolderPath.
To get the path to the public folder, pass
FOLDERID_Publicas the first parameter to SHGetKnownFolderPath.If you need to support pre-Vista operating systems as well, use SHGetFolderPath instead, passing
CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTSas the first param.
