To get the username of the person currently logged in:

strUser = CreateObject("WScript.Network").UserName

Answer 3

Set wshShell = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )

strName = wshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings( "%USERNAME%" )

That would store the username in the string "strName' so it would work like this:

x=messagebox ("Hello ") + strName ,1, strName)

or in your case:

x=messagebox ("C:\Users\" + strName + "\Desktop\name" ,1, "User name in c:\ directory below"

In VBScript you can get the path to the current user's desktop folder via the SpecialFolders collection:

WScript.Echo CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SpecialFolders("Desktop")
