thanks Tom, I already had fileXtra3, but didn't realise the
fx_FolderGetSpecialPath was what I needed.
I found I had to put the folderType in quotes to get it to work.
Thanks a lot

if the platform contains "Windows, 32" then
set path = fx_FolderGetSpecialPath(fxObj, "CSIDL_COMMON_DESKTOPDIRECTORY")
else
set path = fx_FolderGetSpecialPath(fxObj, "kDesktopFolderType")
end if
