OBJECT: WshSpecialFolders
The

object is a read-only collection object that contains all the special Windows folders such as the desktop folder, the Start Menu folder, and the personal document folder.
This object cannot be instantiated directly. It can only be accessed through the
WshShell.SpecialFolders

As with all collection objects, the
WshSpecialFolders
collection can be iterated using the VBScript "For Each .. In" statement, but cannot be iterated using the JScript "for .. in" syntax.
