Find "my documents" path with javascript


I would like to determine the path of "my documents" folder with Javascript. I need it to specify the folder where I could store the logs of my application.

Thanks


Solution

  • Use the SpecialFolders-method of the shell:

    shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
    pathToMyDocuments = shell.SpecialFolders('MyDocuments');
