There is no Constant at this function to directly get this path. I guess
because it is infact an IE specific folder, and not directly a system folder.

This should do it though (not thested on win9x systems yet)

path.s = GetSystemFolder(#CSIDL_APPDATA) + "\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\"

It appears to work under Windows98 1stEd. if you use this string:
"\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch"
(notice the extra "" at the beginning.)

Damn cut&paste!

Of course you also need the '\' at the beginning for NT based systems too.
