Is there a method in the .NET Framework that returns the path to just the
Windows directory?
The closest I've been able to find is System.Environm ent.SystemDirec tory.
On my machine, it returns "C:\Windows\Sys tem32". What I'm looking for in
this case is "C:\Windows ".
TIA,

Hi there... You can get what you want like this...
Aproach 1
********
MsgBox(System.E nvironment.GetE nvironmentVaria ble("Windir"))
Aproach 2
********
Dim winfolder As String =
CType(System.En vironment.GetFo lderPath(Enviro nment.SpecialFo lder.System).Sp lit("\"),
String())(0) + "\" +
CType(System.En vironment.GetFo lderPath(Enviro nment.SpecialFo lder.System).Sp lit("\"),
String())(1)
MsgBox(winfolde r)
Regards,

Windows directory:
'System.Environ ment.GetEnviron mentVariable("W inDir")'
'System.Environ ment.ExpandEnvi ronmentVariable s("%WinDir%") '
- or -
Trick by Bill McCarthy:
'System.Environ ment.GetFolderP ath(CType(&H24,
System.Environm ent.SpecialFold er))'
- or -
P/invoke on 'GetWindowsDire ctory':

Thanks everyone -- the first approach is what I was looking for. Completely

i started attacking this problem by using filesystemobject to check
whether or not a directory existed for the path. if so, it was a
directory path. if not, i checked to see if a file existed for it. if
so, it was a file path. this code is shown below:
