What is the best way to find out where notepad.exe and mspaint.exe are that will work across various versions of Windows?

Should I get the Windows directory via SHGetFol

    If you have the Microsoft Platform SDK installed (the February 2003 version is the last one that works with Microsoft VC6), you can grab the where.exe program (it's 38K, only 18K if you gzip it) and run

    where notepad.exe
    

    help from the where command:

    WHERE [/R dir] [/Q] [/F] [/T] pattern...
    
    Description:
        Displays the location of files that match the search pattern.
        By default, the search is done along the current directory and
        in the paths specified by the PATH environment variable.
    
    Parameter List:
        /R       Recursively searches and displays the files that match the
                 given pattern starting from the specified directory.
    
        /Q       Returns only the exit code, without displaying the list
                 of matched files. (quite mode)
    
        /F       Displays the matched filename in double quotes.
    
        /T       Displays the file size, last modified date and time for all
                 matched files.
    
        pattern  Specifies the search pattern for the files to match.
                 Wildcards * and ? can be used in the pattern. The
                 "$env:pattern" and "path:pattern" formats can also be
                 specified, where "env" is an environment variable and
                 the search is done in the specified paths of the "env"
                 environment variable. These formats should not be used
                 with /R. The search is also done by appending the
                 extensions of the PATHEXT variable to the pattern.
    
         /?      Displays this help message.
    
      NOTE: The tool returns an error level of 0 if the search is
            successful, of 1 if the search is unsuccessful and
            of 2 for failures or errors.
    
    Examples:
        WHERE /?
        WHERE myfilename1 myfile????.*
        WHERE $windir:*.*
        WHERE /R c:\windows *.exe *.dll *.bat
        WHERE /Q ??.???
        WHERE "c:\windows;c:\windows\system32:*.dll"
        WHERE /F /T *.dll
