Finding a system variable

I 
actually know how to get the path in a batch file, and since I have a batch file 
for people to start the database (it loads the latest version from the server to 
their desktop), I thought I could add that in as a command line argument, but I 
can't seem to get code that works to retrieve the value.  I've changed 
focus for now, will go back to it if I find another direction to 
take.
 
The 
registry key might work, but how do I get to it?
 
TIA.
 
Tobi

  Tobi,
   
  See 
  if the registry key at:
   
    
  "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User 
  Shell Folders"
   
  will 
  do what you want to do.

    Finding a system variable
    I have a form to allow users to save a report, 
    and want the default path to be their "My Documents" folder.  How can I 
    pull that out of system information?
