Get SystemDrive variable

[JY Doyon]

I'm writing a script that copies all information from the "Documents and
Settings" folder for backup purposes. My problem is that some machines have
the OS installed on a different drive than C:\. Is there any way to get the
environment variable "SystemDrive" with python?

Thanks for the help

Found it.

srcdrv = os.getenv("SystemDrive"). I forgot to put the quotes at first.

Thanks

Not only that, but different versions of Windows have it in a different
place. Sometimes it's in c:\windows\mydocuments or something. You better
get the folder path for Documents and Settings from the registry rather
than starting from C:
