Enumerate Shell Folders in Win 7

Shell Folders have different names and meanings in Windows 7. I have modified the original script so that you can list the folders and their names.

Run this script using cscript and not wscript.

Set shellApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set CSIDL_VALUES = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

CSIDL_VALUES.Add "CSIDL_ADMINTOOLS", &H30
CSIDL_VALUES.Add "CSIDL_ALTSTARTUP", &H1D

For Each key In CSIDL_VALUES.Keys

On Error Resume Next
value = shellApp.Namespace(CSIDL_VALUES.Item(key)).Self.Path
On Error GoTo 0
wscript.echo key & " &H" & hex(CSIDL_VALUES.Item(key)) & " value: " & value
' WSCript.Echo key & " value: " & value
