The ${FOO} syntax expands environment variables.
You may be able to use the following:
> my documents
${USERPROFILE}\My Documents
> desktop
${USERPROFILE}\Desktop
> windows dir
${WINDIR}
Windows also has an API for so called special folders, with log4net
1.2.9 you can add your own pattern to expand these values.
See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=log4net-user&m=110142086820117&w=2
for an example.
See the Environment.SpecialFolder .NET API documentation on what paths
are available.
