Environment Variable - Startup Folder

Question

Is there an Environment Variable for the startup folder.

On XP it is located under C:\Documents and Settings(user)\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and on vista 7 it is under Appdata\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\

So I was wondering if there was an EnVar for this folder?

Well im coding in FASM right now, that is why I need this answer, for an asm project. I just failed to mention that in the post. — Josh Line, Oct 20 '12 at 18:25

Since you create binaries, why don't you use CSIDL_STARTMENU with SHGetFolderPathA?

Note that on Vista and above SHGetFolderPath is deprecated and replaced by SHGetKnownFolderPath. – Carey Gregory Oct 20 '12 at 21:05
