Not sure if this is any use, but inside the zip are some functions I wrote for getting Windows systems folder paths. I never really finished what I was using them for but I think the code works correctly, though it reads the path from the registry instead of using SHGetFolderPath path. I did some research and had a good reason for doing this, but I can't remember what it was .
The documentation doesn't mention SHGetFolderPath needing a different library on different versions, are you sure? And to add an extra windows lib you should just have to add it the package organiser.
And the home directory on Linux can be found using GetHomeDirectory().
