Help with DirRemove

[Tech63]

I will be using DirRemove Script to remove a Folder from various different users on different pc's.

The folder that needs deleted is in the same location on each pc.

C:Userscurrent logged-in userAppDataLocalTempFolder

Is there a wild card of some sort i can insert for current logged-in user?

so that for the same script will work regardless of what user is logged in.

 

I know, newbie question. I did some searching and couldn't come up with anything, may be just a common knowledge type thing.

Is the script going to run with the User's credentials? If so you could use @Username.

Or get the registry value HKCUvolatile environmentusername

Or @UserProfileDir (are you seeing yet how many ways there are to accomplish things with AutoIt)

DirRemove(@UserProfileDir & "\AppData\Local\Temp\Folder", 1)

Edit: Just thinking about Jos' initial question, if you wanted to do this remotely you could do something like this (path could easily be modified for XP):

$sPC = "JLVMWIN7_1"
$WMI = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & $sPC & "\root\CIMV2")
$aItems = $WMI.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem",Default,48)

    For $item In $aItems
        If $item.UserName <> "" Then
            $aSplit = StringSplit($item.UserName, "\")
            $uName = $aSplit[2]
        EndIf
    Next

$sDir = "C$\Users\" & $uName & "\AppData\Local\Temp\Folder"

DirRemove("\\" & $sPC & "\" & $sDir, 1)

JLogan3o13, That did the trick, thanks! and i'll play around with the different methods mentioned as well. there is more to the script than the deletion of just 1 folder, so i'm sure ill run into something else along the way

thanks again

Glad you got it solved

By the way, the environment variable %temp% always points to the user's temp folder, so you can also use this.

DirRemove(EnvGet("temp") & "\Folder", 1)

Just in case they've moved their temp folder from the default location or a group policy has.

DirRemove(@UserProfileDir & "\Documents\FOLDER", 1) 

The path to My Documents differs from XP to 7, the script works well in windows 7 but does not remove this document in XP. I tried a combination of things

for xp like :

DirRemove(EnvGet("userprofile") & "\MyDocuments\BlueZone", 1)

The path in xp is C :Documents and Settings user name My Documents

[JLogan3o13]

This works for me in both XP and WIN7:

DirRemove(@UserProfileDir & "\My Documents\FOLDER", 1)

[BrewManNH]

@MyDocumentsDir

[JLogan3o13]

@MyDocumentsDir

 

True enough, but I was focusing on the OP's use of Envget. I was mistaken anyway, what I meant to post as an example was something like this:

This should run on XP or WIN7

MsgBox(0, "", EnvGet("userprofile") & "\My Documents")
