I can get the path to desktop the following way:
set mypath to path to desktop

But how can i set it to root?

Best regards,

Federico


Besides the ones pointed out by Michelle, this works:

alias (posix file "/")

However, funnily enough, this

path to "root"

or

path to "rotf"

that should return the path to root, return the path to the root "System"
