I tried this and I got the same results on RB2009r2.1 and RB2009r4. EDIT: Ok, I've checked the reference manual and this seems to be the normal behaviour of userData, even if IMHO if SpecialFolder.Desktop is currently returning "C:\Documents And Settings\User\Desktop" then SpecialFolder.userData should return "C:\Documents And Settings\User".

Thanks for your reply. I have checked that too but IMHO it should return the path to the user home; I can imagine that this won't work on some very old versions of Windows, but at least on Win2000/XP/Vista and Seven this would work.
