现在有很多关于如何用VB获得Windows目 录的文章,但大都只讲到如何获得Windows目录和System目录，有时候我们却需要获得像"我的文档"这样的目录（"我的文档"的路径并不是固定 的，可以由自己设定，也有可能因为系统的安装路径不同而不同），那又该如何处理呢？下面我们来具体谈谈如何用VB获得这种路径。
先向大家介绍两个ＡＰＩ函数，这两个函数分别是SHGetSpecialFolderLocation和SHGetPathFromIDList，这就是我们用来获得各种路径的武器。
函数声明:
Private
Declare Function SHGetSpecialFolderLocation Lib "Shell32" (ByVal
hwndOwner As Long, ByVal nFolder As Integer, ppidl As Long) As Long
Private
Declare Function SHGetPathFromIDList Lib "Shell32" Alias
"SHGetPathFromIDListA" (ByVal pidl As Long, ByVal szPath As String) As
Long
函数功能及参数说明：
SHGetSpecialFolderLocation：获得某个特殊目录在特殊目录列表中的位置；它有三个参数，第一个参数是用来指定所有者窗口的，在应用中一般我们写上"0"就可以了；第二个参数是一个整数id，它决定要查找的目录是哪一个目录，它的取值可能如下：
&H0& '桌面
&H2& '程序集
&H5& '我的文档
&H6& '收藏夹
&H7& '启动
&H8& '最近打开的文件
&H9& '发送
&HB& '开始菜单
&H13& '网上邻居
&H14& '字体
&H15& 'ShellNew
&H1A& 'Application Data
&H1B& 'PrintHood
&H20& '网页临时文件
&H21& 'Cookies目录
&H22& '历史
第三个参数是获得的特殊目录在特殊目录列表中的地址。
SHGetPathFromIDList：根据某特殊目录在特殊目录列表中的地址获取该目录的准确路径。它有两个参数，第一个参数是特殊目录在特殊目录列表中的地址，也即上一个函数所获得的地址；第二个参数是一个字符串型数据，用来保存返回的特殊目录的准确路径。
比如：为了获得DeskTop的路径，首先需调用SHGetSpecialFolderLocation获得DeskTop在特殊目录列表中的位置Pid，然后调用SHGetPathFromIDList函数获得Pid指向的列表内容，即DeskTop的准确路径。
下面是我编写的一个用来获取Windows各种目录路径的例子，供大家参考。如果您有什么问题或建议，欢迎给我来信(xuhaoliang@21cn.com)。
