Hello! Is there any way to resolve a path from the registry? Or is there a way
to resolve a Windows Special Folder/Shell Folder/CSIDL location? For instance,
if I am trying to resolve the "Documents" folder or "Nethood" folder, this
path may be different depending on whether the Documents folder has been
redirected, or whether it is an XP or Win7 computer (the Nethood folder is
different on XP vs Win7, but the NetHood path always contains the correct
path).

Thanks!

Yes, CSIDL values are fully supported, see the helpfile -> macros for details.
Alternatively and even simpler, just use the drop down list on each directory
input field and select one of the CSIDL values proposed by FFS.

Speaking about "Nethood", it seems I've missed this value. But I'll add it for
the next release!
