In Windows, the proper portable way is to #include <shlobj.h>, link to shell32.lib and call SHGetFolderPath for CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS. Works on Windows 9x with IE5 installed, and on all NT-family systems. It also seems to be implemented in current Wine. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762181%28VS.85%29.aspx
