Is there a system variable to access either
users
users\\public

in Windows Vista? Something like $PROGRAMFILES$, etc?

thanks,
Brad

This is returned by Get Folder Location on all platforms (these folders are not new to Vista, but their locations have indeed changed).

Get Folder Location gets the folder location for the following predefined system locations:
System->Application Data Directory
System->CD Burning Directory
System->Desktop Directory
System->Fonts Directory
System->Profiles Directory
System->Program Files Directory
System->Recent Files Directory
System->Send To Directory
System->System Directory
System->Templates Directory
System->Windows Directory

I need to get the path to the new system "Users" or "Users\\Public" folders.

If you don't have something for this, is there a way to find the system drive? Then I could do the following:
$SYSTEMDRIVE$\\Users\\Public

I had already answered this question, and you repeated the answer Use the System->Profiles directory.

System->Profile returns:
"c:\\Users\\<username>" on Vista

I need access to:
"c:\\Users\\Public"

Which you got.

You already have something better.

I'm new to IA, so maybe I'm missing something, but
you still haven't shown me how to do this.

I have:
"c:\\Users\\<username>\"

How do I get:
"c:\\Users\\Public"

Extract File Path and Set Variable are the commands to use.

Thanks that did the trick.
