Can anyone shed some light on how to determine what the
desktop path is? Obviously I know where my desktop is but
I want to be able to get the path of a given users desktop
path in my code at runtime.

Thanks!

You can get the current desktop path by using the code below:

\\\
Dim s As String = _
Environment.GetFolderPath(SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory)
///
