Special Folder Enum

Question

Requirement:

Need to display all files and folders, which is visible (terms of permission) to the current user in a Tree. This includes Desktop, Favourites, special folders like, my documents, my pictures. How can I get these folders locations for current user?

 

Problem.

When I used  DirectoryInfo  object filled GetDirectories() gives me error each time it hits a folder, which I don’t have access. I could catch it, and exclude those ones. Now problem is folders like Documents and Settings also skipped. Which I don’t want to happen. Some how I want to display all possible user specific folders.

 

If somebody can tell me, where I can find bookmarks for Chrome , Netscape, Opera and Fire fox it would be great.
