Snippets are typically stored in several locations including the location where the associated language service is installed or a folder in the user's My Documents folder. Snippets can also be associated with a specific project or project item and stored in a folder relative to that project or project item.

The paths returned from this method are not to the snippets folder but to the base folder. For example, specifying a token value of ET_MyDocs may return a path such as "C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005". The snippets are stored under that path in "Code Snippets\[languagename]\My Code Snippets", where [languageName] is the name of the language such as "C#".
