Comprehensive List of Dirids for Windows XP Pro 1 SourceDrive:\pathname (the directory from which the INF file was installed) 10 Windows directory.

If you are aware of any not listed here (or any which are incorrect) please post them here. I only tested these in Windows XP Pro. I cannot guarantee that these are the same in other versions of Windows. For those wanting their INF to work in Windows 98 only dirids 1 to 30 are supported.
