Does anybody have any VB code that finds the windows temp folder?

Thanks in advance

try this and see how you go ....

Private Declare Function GetTempPath Lib "kernel32.dll" Alias "GetTempPathA" (ByVal nBufferLength As Integer, ByVal lpBuffer As System.Text.StringBuilder) As Integer
 
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim s As New System.Text.StringBuilder(256)
        GetTempPath(s.Capacity, s)
        MessageBox.Show(s.ToString)
    End Sub

Thankyou sir!

If you don't want to use an API then you can do this:

Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TEMP")
 
'you can get a bunch of other ones using GetFolderPath but temp isn't one of those
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System)

Even better.

Cheers!
