Location of the documents folder

[GeeHaa]

Hi 

I'm used to finding the documents folder with (strcat (getenv "USERPROFILE") "\\documents\\") but now onedrive is in the way. Is there a method to find the (absolute) documents folder with autolisp? I know there is with VB.net.

Thanks,

G.

Please elaborate.

(strcat (getenv "USERPROFILE")"\\OneDrive - XXXX\\documents\\") Not everyone has one drive and they all have slightly different names. This is what I use to find it in VB.net. Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments.

Thanks

Maybe one of the methods HERE.

Here are a couple that stand out:

(getvar 'MYDOCUMENTSPREFIX)

(vl-registry-read "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Shell Folders" "Personal")
