I've been offline trying to re-image my machine. Ugh.
While I prefer the Environment.GetFolderPath, it turns out that doesn't work
for me. I really want the folder of My Pictures, which doesn't have to be
under My Documents (so I guess I asked the wrong question). A registry key
points to it exactly, while the Environment.GetFolderPath doesn't have an
entry for Pictures.
But I'll certainly use the GetFolderPath when I can. Didn't realize all the
stuff Environment provides.
