Thanks for those tips. JSX is written in the WinBatch language, and my code
does use a wrapper function in the language for querying special folder paths.
My current WinBatch version is about a year and a half old, however, so maybe
upgrading to the latest will fix the problem (unfortunately, the license to
receive upgrades is about $100 a year so I put off upgrading if existing code
is working since I no longer develop new apps in that language).

I should also add that you should not be looking for these paths manually in
any case,
If you have written this in c/c++ use functions like SHGetFolderPath or
SHGetKnownFolderPath.
.NET has System.Environment.GetFolderPath
