in reply to How to get location of Desktop folder on Win32
That kinda depends on what you are looking for...
If you are looking for directories to Desktop/Start Menu/Application Data, for the current user you could always look for the USERPROFILE environment setting with $ENV{'USERPROFILE'} then those 'special' directories are all under there.
You can then just add for example \\Desktop to that envirenment variable.
Below is a simple untested example:
my $path = $ENV{'USERPROFILE'}; $path =~s/\\/\//g; my $desktop_path = "$path/Desktop";
