The answer to this is CSIDL
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762494%28v=vs.85%29.aspx),
which of course had to be replaced by somthing else with windows vista
or older and now it is called KNOWNFOLDERID
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd378457%28v=VS.85%29.aspx).
Yes, this is called progress :)

Unfortunately, you cannot use this from batch scripting (I usually do
this from Perl with the Win32::GetFolderPath() function).
