Hi David,

You can get it by WSH. Please try the code below.

Dim WSHShell, WSH_Folder
Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set WSH_Folder = WSHShell.SpecialFolders
MsgBox "Your Desktop path would be " & WSH_Folder.Item("Desktop")

When I send a self extracting zip file to user it
automatically creates a shortcut on the desktop for user
of Windows 98, but does not for Windows 2000. Is there a
way of writing the path for Windows 2000?
