I take it you're looking for something to give you the path to the
Documents and Settingsfolder?? You don't need the API to do it:Imports System.IO
Dim profilesPath As String profilesPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("USERPROFILE"))Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP Visual Developer - Visual Basic
