REM Special folders in XP sp3 20.11.2011 id%=-1 REPEAT id%=id%+1 spex$=FNspecialfolder(id%) IF LENspex$ > 2 PRINT id%,TAB(14); spex$
UNTIL id% = 99 I found last night that above code produces a little bit more files than given in the BBC Basic educational files and documentations: 0 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\Desktop\ 2 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\Start Menu\Programs\ 5 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\My Documents\ 6 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\Favorites\ 7 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\ 8 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\Recent\ 9 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\SendTo\ 11 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\Start Menu\ 13 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\My Documents\My Music\ 16 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\Desktop\ 19 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\NetHood\ 20 C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\ 21 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\Templates\ 22 C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\ 23 C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\ 24 C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\ 25 C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\ 26 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\Application Data\ 27 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\PrintHood\ 28 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\Local Settings\Application Data\ 31 C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Favorites\ 32 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\ 33 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\Cookies\ 34 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\Local Settings\History\ 35 C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ 36 C:\WINDOWS\ 37 C:\WINDOWS\system32\ 38 C:\Program Files\ 39 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\My Documents\My Pictures\ 40 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\ 41 C:\WINDOWS\system32\ 43 C:\Program Files\Common Files\ 45 C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Templates\ 46 C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\ 47 C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools\ 53 C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\ 54 C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\ 55 C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Videos\ 56 C:\WINDOWS\Resources\ 59 C:\Documents and Settings\dynamic35\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning\

I found last night that above code produces a little bit more files than given in the BBC Basic educational files and documentations
That's because you were running it on a later version of Windows. If you use the additional 'special folders' which aren't listed in the BB4W docs, be aware that your program will only run on a version of Windows that has them. If you're distributing your code, you may need your users to be aware of that.
