Locate the local path for Google Drive, DropBox, SkyDrive in VBscript

When scripting up a storm, I sometimes need to place output into folders that I know will be stored in the cloud. The following script set will return the folder on the local windows drives where the cloud apps will be syncing their files, or an empty string if the script fails due to the cloud application having not been installed or some other issue such as Microsoft moving their registry setting or Google changing the readability of their config file.

WScript.Echo "Dropbox : " & GetDropBoxFolder
WScript.Echo "Google Drive : " & GetGoogleDriveFolder
WScript.Echo "Skydrive : " & GetSkyDriveFolder

 Err.Clear
 ' Allegedly this is windows 8 key, however this appears not to be the Case
