Is there any way to find the paths to a user's home, favorites, apps, docs directories from Cocoa? I've found NSHomeDirectory() but that's just the home directory how do I find all the other directories? I would also like to be able to get the System preferences directory and other special folders.

If this is only possible with carbon please provide code examples I have no experience with carbon programming or how to mix carbon and cocoa programming. Any documents on this would be very nice.

Check out NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(), declared in <Foundation/NSPathUtilities.h>; it currently provides some of all you want (but not all), and some other stuff.

The Carbon function FindFolder() might provide the rest for now.
