How to get username with vbs

Question

So i'm trying to move a .vbs file with .movefile line and i want to give the .vbs to me friends but in order it to work I would have to know what their username is. what would I put to make the .vbs know their username Ex "C:\users\username\desktop"

Answer 1

To get the username of the person currently logged in:

strUser = CreateObject("WScript.Network").UserName

Answer 2

In VBScript you can get the path to the current user's desktop folder via the SpecialFolders collection:

WScript.Echo CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SpecialFolders("Desktop")

Answer 3

strName = wshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings( "%USERNAME%" )

That would store the username in the string "strName' so it would work like this:

x=messagebox ("Hello ") + strName ,1, strName)

or in your case:

x=messagebox ("C:\Users\" + strName + "\Desktop\name" ,1, "User name in c:\ directory below"
