Finding user's Contacts folder programmatically
A user can change where their Contacts folder (and other user folders) is
located by accessing the folder's Properties and going to the Location tab. For my programs, I use the CurrentVersion - User Shell Folders key in the Registry (via the CSIDL API stuff) to determine where dedicated folders are located. But the Contacts folder is not part of that key's data and I don't think it is listed as a CSIDL constant, so how are we now supposed to locate these new folders, like the user's actual Contacts folder, for example?

Finding user's Contacts folder programmatically
By reading the Value "{56784854-C6CB-462B-8169-88E350ACB882}" under "User Shell Folders" key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders {56784854-C6CB-462B-8169-88E350ACB882} is the folder ID for Contacts. As you said there is not a CSIDL value for "Contacts" folder. -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "Skip Bremer" wrote in message ...
