That kinda depends on what you are looking for...

If you are looking for directories to Desktop/Start Menu/Application Data, for the current user you could always look for the USERPROFILE environment setting with $ENV{'USERPROFILE'} then those 'special' directories are all under there.

You can then just add for example \\Desktop to that envirenment variable.

Below is a simple untested example:

my $path = $ENV{'USERPROFILE'};
$path =~s/\\/\//g;

my $desktop_path = "$path/Desktop";
