    Retrieve 'Local Settings' Directory [Resolved]

    I need to get the directory for Outlook where it stores the .pst
    files under windows 2k & XP. This path under windows 2000 is

    C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

    I can't get it through Outlook so I am trying to get it by getting a
    related folder. I thought about the temp directory, but that will be
    in a number of locations and could be changed. What would be
    the best I think is to get the path to the "Local Settings" directory.
    I don't want to depend on the path "C:\Documents and Settings\UserName
    of always being the same because I'm not sure if it IS always the
    same and cant be changed under 2000 & XP.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance for any help.
