[2010] Get special folder DOWNLOADS

$

With my application, I need to access files that were downloaded by the user's default browser and stored in the default "Windows Download folder".

How can I get the path to the Windows Download folder?

My program runs on Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8

It could be an english of french version of Windows. For example, on Windows 7 the download folder is:
English: C:\Users\<loginname>\Downloads
French: C:\Utilisateurs\<loginname>\Téléchargements

There must be some kind of special folder variable or API call that returns this path, regardless of the Windows version?
