I've found a script on this forum and this script opens special folders.

But I don't want it to open but return the path of the folder.

Can somebody help me.

Try this.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

This looks more like it, thanks.

Is it possible to get the full path, not just only "my documents"?

Func _Special_Folders($Folder)
     $objShell = ObjCreate("Shell.Application")
     $oNameSpace = $objShell.NameSpace($Folder)
     Return $oNameSpace.Title()
EndFunc   ;==>_Special_Folders

Try this.

Sorry, posted the wrong snippet. :)

Func _Special_Folders($Folder)
     $objShell = ObjCreate("Shell.Application")
     Return  $objShell.NameSpace($Folder).Self.Path
EndFunc   ;==>_Special_Folders

Building on BrewManNH's suggestion, you could throw it all into an array for visibility:

Nice al those Ideas.

Thanks for your script!

#include <array.au3>
 
global $folders[41][2]
global $oS = objcreate("Shell.Application")
 
for $i = 0 to ubound($folders) - 1
    local $sfolder = $oS.namespace($i + 1)
    if not isobj($sfolder) then continueloop
    $folders[$i][0] = $sfolder.title()
    $folders[$i][1] = $sfolder.self.path
next
 
_arraydisplay($folders)

outputs folders in installed language as well

Just a other question where can you find some information about these objects.

It seems that "self.path" whas the answer, where can you find that?

There are a ton of websites where you can find information and examples, but I usually go back to MSDN and do a search:
