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.
