How to find system drive on windows?

[amyren]

On Amiga systems we can use sys: to adress the system drive.

But how to find the system drive on a window system, in the odd cases this is not c: ?
The same question also applies for locations like Desktop, Appdata, Documents etc for current user

Take a look at GetSystemInfo().

best option is Andreas suggestion
just want to add that under windows there is also %windir% which point always to system path

cd %windir% -> C:\Windows (or whatever)

Thanks.
GetSystemInfo() does not seem to have option to get the Desktop path (user or common), nor the system drive.¨
But in my case I think CommonAppData and MyDocuments will do what I want this time.

%windir% is already covered by the GetSystemInfo() command
%systemdrive% is also used in windows, but I am not sure if and how these shortcuts can be used from Hollywood.

Sure, you can. There's a GetEnv() command for that, e.g.

Code: Select all

DebugPrint(GetEnv("systemdrive"))

Prints "C" here.
