Hi,

Under windows 7, in the windows explorer view there is a new feature called "Libraries" which have virtual links to "Pictures", "documents" etc.. plus you can add your own virtual link.

These libraries are virtual paths.

In either vb.net of c#:


Can anyone please tell me how to get the full physical path of any of the libraries.

The folders name may be "Pictures" or "Downloads", and what I would like to access is the full physical path directory for each defined library.
e.g "Pictues" would be say "C:\Users\me\Pictures"
or "Downloads" would be say "C:\Users\me\Downloads"


I have looked a special folders but I cannot see anything that refers to these new "virtual libraries"


Thanks

The term plugin means that the software issuing the message was not written by Microsoft so you need to refer to the documentation of the other software. The problem is not the result of the C# DLL not getting loaded. If you wrote both the C# program and the C++ program and you don't recognize the error message then it is a problem with non-Micorosoft software that you are using.
