Jetzt fisch ich mir den Dokumentenordner aus der Registry:
Solltest du nicht tun:
The long and sad story of the Shell Folders key
Zitat:
Once upon a time, in what seems like a galaxy far far away (a Windows 95 beta release known as "M3"), we documented a registry key called "Shell Folders" that programs could read to obtain the locations of various special folders like the Fonts folder or the My Documents folder.
The developers who received Windows 95 M3 Beta followed the documentation and used that key.
In the meantime, Windows 95 work continued, and we realized that a registry key was the wrong place to store this information. In part, because a lot of things (like the Control Panel) aren't disk directories so they wouldn't be expressible there. And in another part, because we had forgotten to take into account a feature of Windows NT called roaming user profiles, where your user profile can move around from place to place, so a hard-coded path in the registry is no good.
So we created the function SHGetSpecialFolderLocation, and updated the documentation to instruct developers to use this new function to obtain the locations of various special folders. The documentation on the old "Shell Folders" key was removed.
