Microsoft® VBScript Step by Step

Appendix E. Special Folder Constants

The DisplayAdminTools.vbs script presented in Chapter 1, relies upon what are called shell special folder enumerated types. Although they are detailed in the Platform SDK, they can be a little hard to find in those documents. Due to the power of the DisplayAdminTools.vbs script, and its usefullness in the day-to-day life of network administrators (for both reporting purposes and for troubleshooting), I am including all the special folder constants in Table E-1.
