Windows has some special folders like My Documents, SendTo, Desktop or Favorites. The location of this folders are keep in the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
However, it is not encourage to retrieve the location of special folders using registry. The recommended way to retrieve is via windows API function SHGetFolderPath:
uses SHFolder;
var sDir: string;
begin
SetLength(sDir, MAX_PATH);
ZeroMemory(@sDir[1], MAX_PATH);
if Succeeded(SHGetFolderPath(0, CSIDL_PERSONAL, 0, 0, PAnsiChar(sDir))) then
ShowMessage(sDir);
end;
