3 I believe if you are using the full path. The extra slash means "The boot
volume" as in /Users or /Library. If SpecialFolderPath returns the full path to
the special folder then 2 should do it. I just checked and it does so the 2
slashes are all you need. I also entered your bit of code into the message box
and got the correct path. I then copied all but the "docs.html" part, and
entered that into a web browser. It gave me a file listing of everything in my
own documents folder. Nothing wrong there.
