Vista access to users\\public

[bradak]

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).

[bradak]

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.

[bradak]

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

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

I need to get the path to the new system "Users"...

Which you got.

...is there a way to find the system drive? Then I could do the following:
$SYSTEMDRIVE$\\Users\\Public

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.
