Acessing User Folders via Batch File

[SHardy]

Hi,

We have recently migrated from NT domain to Active Directory. At the same time everyone's network user IDs have changed.

For example:
- my old login = SHardy
- my new login = BRO_SHA

Now, windows appears to have remembered the association of my old ID. So (for example) instead of local settings being saved as follows:

C:\Documents and Settings\bro_sha\

they are still being saved to:

C:\Documents and Settings\Shardy\

Now the real issue is that I have written a small batch file to update certain user files. However, where I have used the %username% variable in the batch file, it is substituting this with the new ID and hence not finding the appropriate folders/ files.

How can I ensure that I am pointing to the correct path for all users?


Thanks,
Simon

It's OK. I have it now.

%USERPROFILE% returns (for me) "C:\Documents and Settings\Shardy".

I will now simply incorporate this into my script.
