enviro var for logged on user desktop
Guys, I need to script a path to the logged on user's desktop and to their start menu folder.
%USERPROFILE%\desktop\
does not work.. it tried to resolve it but it doesn't like the long-file-names in "documents and settings".
Easy one for you.
Thanks.

I figured it out... you can't use the enviro variable itself in a string like this "%USERPROFILE\desktop".. you have to do this:
WSH1.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%USERPROFILE%") & "\Start Menu\Programs\"
WSH1.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%USERPROFILE%") & "\Start Menu\Programs\"

And here's a script snippet that goes through all the userprofiles..
' Get a list of all existing profiles
Set f = fso.GetFolder("C:\Documents and Settings")
Set sf = f.SubFolders
For Each f1 in sf
If (fso.FileExists("C:\Documents and Settings\" + f1.name + "\{some path}")) Then
fso.DeleteFile "C:\Documents and Settings\" + f1.name + "\{some path}", True
End If
Next

Set f = fso.GetFolder("C:\Documents and Settings")
Set sf = f.SubFolders
For Each f1 in sf
If (fso.FileExists("C:\Documents and Settings\" + f1.name + "\{some path}")) Then
fso.DeleteFile "C:\Documents and Settings\" + f1.name + "\{some path}", True
End If
Next
