SpecialFolder confusion [Resolved]

Hi.

In VS 2003 when using Environment.GetFolderPath you can select Desktop and DesktopDirectory. What's the difference?
The help says that one is logical and the other is physical but the string it returns is the same :confused:

You can also select MyComputer. What's up with that? The string returned there is just "".
Does anyone know what the MyComputer (and the rest of those not found in 2002) is for and how to use it?

I believe the logical would be in english computers like : "Desktop" while in portuguese for example "Ambiente de trabalho".

The phisical is the REAL full path: "C:\windows\desktop\" or whatever it is

Hi.

I still don't get it. Both of them are returning the same string?!?

VB Code:

Msgbox (Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolders.Desktop))
Msgbox (Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolders.DesktopDirectory))

and

VB Code:

Msgbox (Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolders.MyComputer))

just returns ""

Hi.

Nevermind. It just occured to me... :rolleyes:

They are of course for the FolderBrowserDialog RootFolder property.
