I need help one last time. :)

I found the above code on Rev doc-help section by searching for "Special" but as usually no coding help!

Searching for specialFolderPath brought up this:

--------------
For OS X systems:
        Desktop: The user's Desktop folder
        System: The active System Folder
        Fonts: The system Fonts folder
        Preferences: The Preferences folder inside the user's Library folder

For Mac OS and OS X systems, you can also specify a four-character special folder constant as the folderIdentifier. You can find a list of these constants on the Apple web site at <http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Carbon/Files/FolderManager/Folder_Manager/folder_manager_ref/constant_6.html#//apple_ref/c/tdef/FolderType>.

Note: Some special folder constants are meaningful only on Mac OS or only on OS X but not both. Not all special folder constants work on all system versions.

For Windows systems:
        Desktop: For icons on the desktop
        System: For system components
        Start: For items in the Start menu
        Documents: For user documents
        Fonts: For font storage
        Temporary: For storage of temporary files

For Windows systems, you can also specify a CSIDL number that identifies a special folder. You can find a list of available CDISL values on the Microsoft web site at <http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/reference/enums/csidl.asp>.

Note: The CSIDL numbers are provided in hexadecimal notation, so you'll need to use the baseConvert function to translate them into decimal numbers to use them with the specialFolderPath function. For example, the CSIDL number of the "My Music" folder is hexadecimal 0x000d. The expression baseConvert("0x000d",16,10) is equal to 13, the number in decimal notation, so you use 13 as the folderIdentifier to obtain the location of the "My Music" folder.

  Note:   Not all CSIDL numbers work on all Windows versions.
