Yeah, it's right. Thanks very much!

May I ask one time more, how if the Windows is set to
multi-user/profile mode:

1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
   ProgramFilesDir = ???
2. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders
   * = ???
3. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders
   * = ??? (because I see this key inside file shfolder.dll)

thanks!
