VBS equivalent for %USERPROFILE%?

[jdukarm]

The %USERPROFILE% used in .bat for the profile they are using on the computer so I can copy a normal.dot file and an outlook otm file to the specific profiles on login using WSH script.

Is there an equivalent for it in vbs or wsh?

Rewriting my scripts in vbs and this is the only thing that has stumped me.

Thanks John

There are a couple of possibilities. The ExpandEnvironmentStrings method of the WshShell object will let you access the environment. The SpecialFolders collection of the same object may give you the directory you want as well.

You may take a look at he WshShell.Environment collections.

Hope This Helps, PH.
