    How to get pathes to some Shell folders?

    How to get drive letter where Windows is installed?

    How to get path to user folder settings? (I mean C:\Documents and settings\user\). It's needed to get f.e. to the Documents and settings\user\Local settings\Application data - actually it's a hidden folder (not Documents and settings\user\Application data).
