Get logged on username and drive letter?

[davemarsh]

Hi - I'm writing a small app that deletes some unwanted content in a folder.
But how do I get the users logged on name, for the right path? eg. 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\folder\files'. Also their drive letter may not be 'C' - how could I check that?

Cheers

Public strUser

strUser=Environ("username")

should give you the user logged on. Not sure about your second question though, hopefully another more experienced member will be be able to help you with that.

Try this this will loop through 100 Enrion variables

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim i As Integer
    For i = 1 To 100
        Debug.Print Environ$(i)
    Next
End Sub

in the way of you are looking try this

Debug.Print Environ$("USERPROFILE")
'Will return
'C:\Documents and Settings\'UserName'
