Windows 7 question

Hi from Beautiful Brittany,

I wrote :

which doesn't work on Windows 7 (gives me diskette "A:" ?????)

Mark Schonewille (off forum) came up with the best answer (I think),
not requiring a shell command.

       put item 1 of specialfolderpath("system") into xxxxx

and strip off the "/WINDOWS" text !

And this works for all Windows systems that I know.

Thanks Mark !

This post is just in case anybody else runs into the problem ....
