How do I access special directories in Windows?

What is the C# syntax to retrieve the user's desktop, documents folder and other system folders on Windows?

You can use Environment.GetFolderPath with the Environment.SpecialFolder enumeration. For example:

string desktopPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop);

Use:

string folder = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.*);

Where * is one of the enum values.
