Have you taken a look at Buddy API function list? It has some built-in
functions that seem similar to what you are looking for...

Well, you'd need the logon user's name, which you may be able to find
with the following:
strCurUser = baReadRegString(
"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer", "Logon User Name",
"error", "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" )
So that would put the 'My Documents' folder at something like:
strDir = "C:\Documents and Settings\" & strCurUser & "\My Documents\"
No guarantees that this is the best place to find strCurUser though.
There may be a more reliable place, but I haven't found it. You get the
idea.
