How to Find Special Folders

Need to know the actual location of the My Document folder? Or of the CD Burn Area? Or where your cookies are stored?

Simple, Select Tools | Special Folders... from the main menu to display the Special Folders dialog.

 

The Special Folders Dialog

Displays Folders Special to Windows

along with their current path, if any.

Open a folder in a New explore View

either by highlighting it and clicking Display Folder button or double-clicking the entry itself.

My Documents & Program Files are among the common

folders that have special paths

Availability and Paths are Windows Version and User Dependent

normally only some of the special folders will be available

FileBoss's Help File Contains more Information for Each Folder

including intended use, typical paths, and their CSIDL_xxxx constants for programmers.
