Getting Window Desktop structure - folder tree like in Windows explorer

[Sonnich Jensen]

Hi all

The folder structure in each windows version is slightly different.
Are the folders a part of Windows Explorer's code, or are the folder tree retrieable somehow?

Under desktop can be "Document", "Downloads", Music, Pictures etc.
How can a programme know what is there?
And how do I get the localised names in the langue of the user (system) ?

Thanks
Still the issue remain - I know that I should start with the Desktop. I can get folder on the desktop, but how do I get the structure of special folders

As they look like here:

How do I get e.g. quick access?
And for systems that dont have them?

I'm still clueless to what you are asking ....

But quick Acces can be opened directly by going to:
shell:::{679F85CB-0220-4080-B29B-5540CC05AAB6}
