How might one obtain the full path to a file folder when it is open in an Explorer window?

It's easy to get the caption from the title bar but, unless the user has checked "Show Full Path" under folder options, the task is a bit more daunting. I suspect that Win maintains a structure containing the properties of all open windows but it has eluded me. Can anybody point me toward this data or even provide a way to fudge a solution?
