If I understand correctly. You can use the stored system variables:

 Help with Code Tags 
 Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6 Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
Debug.Print Environ("PROGRAMFILES")
 
'OR if you want just the drive letter you can also use
 
Debug.Print Environ("HOMEDRIVE")
 
'OR
 
Debug.Print Environ("SYSTEMDRIVE")
Debug.Print Environ("PROGRAMFILES")

'OR if you want just the drive letter you can also use

Debug.Print Environ("HOMEDRIVE")

'OR

Debug.Print Environ("SYSTEMDRIVE")
