            Hi, you can use GetEnvironmentVariable('LocalAppData')

                  Hi All,
            I need to use/get a common windows folder (in Win XP,Vista,7,8 and 
8.1) that all users will have
            read/write access to by default.
            I think it is CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS

            Any ideas how I can code this in Lazarus?


      You can use the shfolder unit. It contains the necessary constants and
      calls to retrieve the location.

      Michael.


Here in Brazil, on Lazarus-BR group, an member (Joao Marcelo Vaz) sent an very 
nice tip:

uses
  windirs;

...

  ShowMessage(GetWindowsSpecialDir(CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS));

=)

Right, I could not find that unit !
I knew there was another one, but could not find it, looking in 
packages/winunits-base :(

Michael.
