VBScript and Environ("UserName")

.
Trying to create a VBScript using Environ. All the examples I can locate online are not helpful (actually there are very few examples).

Here is the script currently used, that includes the USERNAME. I want to use ENVIRON in place of the USERNAME.

Thanks for any assistance.

That’s actually a much better way of doing it, since users can change the location of their desktop

For those who might be interested, here are all of the Windows' special folder paths (that I am aware of) that can be found with the CreateObject that I posted in Message #4 (just substitute the keyword option for the "Desktop" keyword that I used)....

' Options For specical folders
' AllUsersDesktop
' AllUsersStartMenu
' AllUsersPrograms
' AllUsersStartup
' Desktop
' Favorites
' Fonts
' MyDocuments
' NetHood
' PrintHood
' Programs
' Recent
' SendTo
' StartMenu
' Startup
' Templates

Interesting ... I never considered that a user might move their desktop. Hmmm ....

Hi Logit !

For example if the users data are on another local drive than C like for example D,
and the disk partition was saved after so when Windows crashes the drive C,
after restoring the backup the users do not lose anything, just have to apply the software updates so
after such a Windows crash the computer is ready again in less than a hour (w/o the Windows updates) …

Windows 10 allow user to move https://www.windowsphoneinfo.com/thr...ndows-10.7267/.
For enterprise solution folder redirection can be switched on and Desktop, Documents, Download and Favorites folders will be on the network resources.

I guess the only way to get at it is something like this...

I wasn't aware of the ExpandEnvironmentStrings method, but that may be because it appears VB's Environ function probably uses its underlying code for its functionality. This is a much shorter way to get the Temp folder path (as well as evaluate any other environmental settings)...

Environ("Temp")
