This works great with xp/nt/2k but doesnt have an equivalent in 98 or 95. Depending on what systems you want to support you may want to look into better solutions. (one based on where the PD executables are on your system seems like it would be the best)

At a dos prompt if you type "set home" it shows you the homepath variable, which on my system points to the home-type folder I was talking about... that would probably work, right?

Hallo, Chad A. Wood hat gesagt: // Chad A. Wood wrote:
Windows XP (and I think 2000?) has a kind of a "home" folder
for each user.
On XP at least, within the "Documents and Settings" folder, there is
a
folder corresponding the each user's name.
Do you know, if this is consistent accross the world? I know, that at work (at home I only run Linux) I also have this on W2000, but its called in german "Dokumente und Einstellungen". So we'd need something more general than just a path name. Maybe there is a registry setting for that? On Unix, one can get this info from the file /etc/passwd or the environment settings.
