Dir for every computer?

[bbcjoey]

I have a program and its almost ready togo but i can't find seem to remember the way to make it run from the current users dsktop or other location:

Like mine is:

"C:/Joe/Desktop/Program/Stuff"

Someone elses might be:

"F:/Ron/Desktop/Program/Stuff"

Now of course after the c:/ron the program/stuff i will include with the program but how do i get it to use the current users pathing?

\%UserName%\oÝ÷ Ø@ÈM§]¶¬¶ay· y⮶­sd÷Bb33´WæDVçe7G&æw2b33²Â

**END**

$App_Fldr = @DesktopDir & "\Program\Stuff\"

example for you

Opt('ExpandEnvStrings', 1)
ShellExecute ("C:\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\Desktop\IE.lnk", "")

[John117]

$App_Fldr = @DesktopDir & "\Program\Stuff\"

does that work with the 'desktop or other location?'

It looked to me like he was going to specify part of the path by making sure it was installed in a folder on the desktop.

Editt: And I might add that your example specifies C:\ as the drive. That is not always the case.

@ GEO -This is true, and that was an honest question with a small stab at the 'other location' in the origional post
