```
interface ICoreWebView2Environment7
  : public ICoreWebView2Environment6
```

This interface is an extension of the [ICoreWebView2Environment](icorewebview2environment.md#icorewebview2environment).

## Summary

 Members                        | Descriptions
--------------------------------|---------------------------------------------
[get_UserDataFolder](#get_userdatafolder) | Returns the user data folder that all CoreWebView2's created from this environment are using.

An object implementing the ICoreWebView2Environment7 interface will also implement [ICoreWebView2Environment](icorewebview2environment.md#icorewebview2environment).

## Applies to

Product                         | Introduced
--------------------------------|---------------------------------------------

## Members

#### get_UserDataFolder

Returns the user data folder that all CoreWebView2's created from this environment are using.

> public HRESULT [get_UserDataFolder](#get_userdatafolder)(LPWSTR * value)

This could be either the value passed in by the developer when creating the environment object or the calculated one for default handling. It will always be an absolute path.

```cpp
        auto environment7 = m_webViewEnvironment.try_query<ICoreWebView2Environment7>();
        CHECK_FEATURE_RETURN(environment7);
        wil::unique_cotaskmem_string userDataFolder;
        environment7->get_UserDataFolder(&userDataFolder);
        MessageBox(m_mainWindow, userDataFolder.get(), L"User Data Folder", MB_OK);
```

The caller must free the returned string with `CoTaskMemFree`. See [API Conventions](/microsoft-edge/webview2/concepts/win32-api-conventions#strings).
