Author API for gettings special paths?
Daniel

Is it possible to use an API to get the paths where to put sounds, videos
etc. (My Sounds, My Videos - below My Documents) or is the place to put new
stuff simply in the My Documents-folder?

Thanks for your reply Ajay.

I know of that API, but should've mentioned I'm currently developing for
Smartphone 2003 and not Windows Mobile 5. I don't think there are
CSIDL-values to use for these paths earlier than WM 5, or?
