Obtaining path of users directory

Question

How to get path of Users folder from windows service on MS Vista? I think about path of C:\\Users directory, but it may be different location depend on sys

Answer 1

System.Environment.SpecialFolder will give you access to all these folders that you want, such as My Documents, Etc..

If you use the UserProfile SpecialFolder, that should give you the path to your profile under Users.

string userPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile);
