Logon ID in Windows NT

[GreenFella]

I am attempting to automate copying a shortcut onto a person's desktop when they sign on to a Windows NT workstation and run a batch file.

However, since I do not have Admin authority I cannot copy the shortcut to the Winnt\Profiles\All Users\Desktop folder. I need to copy it to the Winnt\Profiles\user\Desktop foler where user is the Logon Id of the current user.

My question is, what is the system variable that I need to take the place of "user" in that batch statement.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

Try using %USERNAME%. For a list of other things like computer name variable, server etc, go to the DOS prompt and type set.

Thanks very much thatrenowned. I think that is going to do the trick.
