OK ... are you supposed to find it out by looking at the environment
vars, or is there another API defined?

I am planning to consolidate the platform dependency into a function
defined like

        static bool pqGetHomeDirectory(char *buf, int bufsize)
        {
                -- Obtain pathname of user's home directory, store in
                -- buf[] (of size bufsize)
                -- Return TRUE if succeeded, FALSE if not
        }

If someone can whip up and test a WIN32 version of this, I'll take care
of the rest.



I can't do the coding, but I took a quick look at msdn and I think this is relevant:


http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/reference/functions/shgetfolderpath.asp

HRESULT SHGetFolderPath( HWND /hwndOwner/,
int /nFolder/,
HANDLE /hToken/,
DWORD /dwFlags/,
LPTSTR /pszPath/
);



Also, for nFolder, it looks like the we want to use a value of CSIDL_PROFILE (0x0028).


Hope that helps someone out there.

Matthew
