I have an application I want to be able to:

1) Store user specifc settings in ther "My Documents".

2) Store some information in "All Users" document directory.

3) I also want to be able to access program files that are installed in the
"Program Files" directory.

How can I get these locations from within a VB application.

Hi,

Debug.WriteLine(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ALLUSERSPROFILE"))

Debug.WriteLine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal
))

Debug.WriteLine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramF
iles))
