GeneralPath to user's desktop folder Pin

Hi All,

Ok, this should be easy to figure out, but I can't seem to google a good answer. I need a way to programmatically discover the path to the current user's desktop. Something similar to GetWindowsDirectory() or GetSystemDirectory(), I guess.

The only think I could find was VBScript stuff like WshShell.SpecialFolders(...) or using the Windows Shell COM stuff.

There must be a simpler way to do this in C++, no?

TIA,

Pete
