Oh, I am using currentUserHomeDirectory = NSHomeDirectoryForUser(NSUserName());
but I was told that this was not proper to be used anymore by another developer.

Ah, well, What I am trying to do is ensure what version and what application of 
ours they are running. Our app is a plugin and it can be put in a few locations 
and I want to know. I *can* always check the paths manually and decide, but 
yes, perhaps LaunchServices would be best.

Kyle, thank you for the link as well.
