Using shell32q.NameSp ace(k) Or how to find Shared Music path

If I use the
shell32q.NameSp ace(k)

and the Parent property I can develop, for example, the path to My Music.

Actually it ends with Desktop but Desktop can also be traced by using Parent
to the drive. This desktop is referred as DESKTOPDIRECTOR Y

However, if I try to develop a path to Shared Music I get to Desktop/My
Computer.

Now there are two Desktops (DESKTOP and DESKTOPDIRECTOR Y)

My Music ends with the second and Shared Music with the first which does not
have a parent.

The correct directory for the first one includes the All Users folder (where
the second uses the Username folder).

Does anyone know how to get a path to Shared Music

or All Users\Documents ??

Any suggestion of what I could try would be appreciated.

PS

Strange. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents

and click Shared Music and you get

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents \My Music

not

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents \Shared Music

System.Environm ent which seems to have a wealth of info.

First of all, I'm an Asian and I need to input Japanese, Korean and so on. I've tried many PHP IDEs today, but almost non of them supported Unicode (UTF-8) file. I've found that the only Unicode support IDEs are DreamWeaver 8 and Zend PHP Studio. DreamWeaver provides full support for Unicode. However, DreamWeaver is a web editor rather than a PHP IDE. It only supports basic IntelliSense (or code completion) and doesn't have anything...
