Hmm .. there is an API called SHGetFolderPathA, with which you can obtain certain other folders in Windows.
You need to put a 'decls' file in the programfiles\blitz\userlibs folder.
You can maybe try this code, but I'm not sure if it finds the right directory. Also, I didn't test if it can delete files from that directory with DeleteFile.
