System folder {(type)} 
String
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
| type | Longint | | Type of system folder |
| Function result | String |  | Pathname to a system folder |
Description
The System folder command returns the pathname to a particular folder of the operating system or to the active Windows or Mac OS System folder itself.
You pass in the optional type parameter a value indicating the type of system folder. 4D provides you with the following predefined constants, placed in the "System Folder" theme:
| Constant | Type | Value |
| System | Long Integer | 0 |
| Fonts | Long Integer | 1 |
| User Preferences_All | Long Integer | 2 |
| User Preferences_User | Long Integer | 3 |
| Startup Win_All | Long Integer | 4 |
| Startup Win_User | Long Integer | 5 |
| Start Menu Win_All | Long Integer | 8 |
| Start Menu Win_User | Long Integer | 9 |
| System Win | Long Integer | 12 |
| System32 Win | Long Integer | 13 |
| Favorites Win | Long Integer | 14 |
| Desktop | Long Integer | 15 |
| Applications or Program Files | Long Integer | 16 |
Notes:
• The constants suffixed Win can be used on Windows only. When they are used on Mac OS, System folder will return an empty string.
• The pathnames to some system folders can specific to the current user. Constants 2 to 9 allow you to choose whether you want to obtain the pathname to a folder which is shared by all users, or customized for the current user.
If you omit the type parameter, the function will return the pathname to active System folder (= constant System).
