How to get the Current User application Data path

Hi,

I need to get the users application data path (like "C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data") to store some information.

Is it correct to read the registry key "APPDATA" in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment", or is there another way?

Thank you.

Hi Thomas,

See the code below: 


uses Windows, SHFolder, Dialogs;

var
  Path: array [0..MAX_PATH] of Char;
begin
  if SHGetFolderPath(0, CSIDL_APPDATA, 0, 0, Path) = S_OK then
    ShowMessage(Path);
end;
