I thought you mistyped this until I went and looked at the key. No, you didn't. It's in there! 
The path to Pictures is listed as "My Pictures", but like you said before, is this name localized? I have no idea.

I don't think the names would be localized, but I don't have a non-English version of Windows to check.
I've just added a link to a blog post from Raymond Chen, who explains that the "Shell Folders" key exists solely to permit four programs written in 1994 to continue running on the RTM version of Windows 95.

The names are localized. I got a folder "My Pictures", one called "Pictures" and one "Mijn Afbeeldingen". To make things worse, this does not say anything about the actual location, as my "Mijn Afbeeldingen" points to a completely different harddrive.

I'd expect the names of the folders to be localized. But what about the names of the values in the "User Shell Folders" registry key?

Yup.

Yes, my apologies for not thinking.
English, both on a Dutch and a German machine. Called "CommonPictures" on this machine, pointing to the correct physical path. Keys are usually not translated, because that would defeat the purpose of having one.
..so, remotely reading the registry as an admin, just to find a path? Still sounds like a bad idea

Considering the "fix" that this key was created for, would it really surprise anyone if someone at MS did something that stupid?

Ow! I just fell out of my chair laughing. 
That's one hell of a "fix".

"Time"? What is this "time" you speak of?
I'm in the middle of a 6 week stint of being a single parent while the wife travels for work. 24 hours in a day isn't enough. I have to give credit to those who do this full-time. It ain't easy.

Dear Friends
how to append char in VB6.0
thanks
|
|
|
|
|
Same answer as below; please read the documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
If you're asking question this basic, you SERIOUSLY need to pick up a book on VB.NET and work through it.
Forget VB6.

See the documentation for the String class, there is most likely a method that gives the result.

The quick response is "What does that mean?". It makes absolutely no sense in English. I realise that English may not be your first language, but please explain what you want clearly or nobody will be able to help you.

This does not make any sense. Please explain clearly.

This creates an email for each user and lists all their roles. I have been racking my brain trying to add another loop (possibly For Each?) that creates an email for all users of a given supervisor (column 7). For example, if a super has 3 employees, it creates 3 emails, I want it to create 1. It should loop through all supervisors sending them an email that includes all their workers.
I left the email piece off, below code works in Excel but generates an email for every user (column 3).
Anyone have any ideas? Please and thank you.
Sub LoopUsers()
Dim l As Long
With Sheet1
For l = 2 To .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
If sUser = "" Then
sGreeting = .Cells(l, 1).Value
sEmail = .Cells(l, 2).Value
sCC = .Cells(l, 9).Value
sUser = .Cells(l, 3).Value
sName = .Cells(l, 4).Value
sDescription = .Cells(l, 5).Value
sRole = .Cells(l, 6).Value
Else
sRole = sRole & ", " & .Cells(l, 6).Value
End If
If .Cells(l + 1, 3) <> sUser Then
Call SendEmail
sUser = ""
End If
Next l
End With
End Sub

Sort by supervisor and then loop through your cells. Concatenate the list of employees and when the supervisor changes you send the email and reset the variable storing the employees.
Pretty simple. Just think it through, perhaps write it down on paper and then translate to code.
