    I need some help here.

    I want to do the equivalent as in some programs how you can specify a directory with % signs so the program finds the directory on it's own. Well, What i'm trying to do is in a batch program, tell it to find the "Deskto" folder because on XP it's in Documents and Settings, etc. But in 9X it's just WINDOWS\Desktop. Instead of having to make 2 sepearte versions of the program, is there any easy way (or way at all) to specify that the program find the "Desktop" directory on it's own?

    I hope this makes some sense. :)
    Thanks in advance.
