How do I get the current user's Local Settings folder path in C#?

I want to point a file dialog at a particular folder in the current user's Local Settings folder on Windows. What is the shortcut to get this path?

string localPath = Directory.GetParent(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData)).FullName;

is the simple answer.

Environment.GetFolderPath( Environment.SpecialFolders.LocalApplicationData);?

I can't remember if there is a "Local Settings" folder on Windows XP anymore, it seems vaguely familiar.

How about this, for example:

String appData = 
    Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData);

I don't see an enum for just the Local Settings folder.
