Understanding VBScript: The Windows Shell Object Model

The NameSpace method takes one argument. If you want to access a directory, you use a fully qualified path as the argument. For example, if you want to access the directory on the C drive, you specify

Set myFolder = _
sa.NameSpace("C:\")

If you want to access a special folder, you use a special-folder constant. Table 3 shows the constants for several main special folders. You can find a more complete list at http://msdn .microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url= /library/psdk/shellcc/shell/objects/ shell/shellspecialfolderconstants.htm. Or, you can go into Visual Studio's (VS's) shlobj.h file and locate all the constants that start with CSIDL. A third approach is to create a Visual Basic (VB) project, reference the Microsoft Shell library (Shell Controls and Automation is the description), use the Object Browser to go into the Shell32 library, and open the enumeration called ShellSpecialFolderConstants. Table 3 is a subset of this enumeration. . . .
