Yes, check the docs for

ShGetFolderPath ()

passing it the CSIDL_PERSONAL

flag.

Or, if you're using the .NET framework, call

System::Environ ment::GetFolder Path(System::En vironment::Spec ialFolder::MyDo cuments)

I've done some Googling around on this and it seems like creating a here document is a bit tricky with Python.

So my question is: Is there a way to produce a very long multiline string of output with variables' values inserted without having to resort to this wacky """v...

Is there a way via C# to programmatically retrieve the full path name to folders like "My Documents" ?? I'm seeing examples with the use of Shell32 stuff I believe, SHGetSpecialFolderLocation and I have no knowledge nor experience using such stuff. I've seen some examples pertaining to these special folders but it's all Greek to me and I'm sure somebody here could explain it 100 times quicker

On *nix, ~/foo refers to a file in a user's home directory. On MSWindows, users normally look at "My Documents" in their home directory.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
