I was going to suggest earlier (when you were discussing telling 
users how to find their profiles) that, if you are using this to talk 
to users, then the environment variable %APPDATA% is (I think) all 
you need. This has the advantage of avoiding two problems: part of 
the path to this is through a folder hidden by default, and some 
users may not be aware of their own Windows user name.


I'm aware of the variable. However, I wanted to avoid this as it's to, 
hm, variable when showing path names as example. ;-)


But maybe it's indeed the best way when covering all Windows versions. 
To reach also the inexperienced users I've to add an explaination how 
to use this variable, e.g., in the Windows Explorer.


Nevertheless, do you have a source for full path names?

Portfolio is at %APPDATA%\ROAMING\OpenOffice\4


Thanks for your help.

Actually, no - as the Roaming folder is included in the expansion of 
the environment variable %APPDATA% in versions of Windows that have 
it. So you mustn't include "Roaming" here.
