Making a logon script enter a username

[Hellooooooooo]

Hello Everyone.

I'm wanting to change the default location the outlook 03 uses to store opened attachment for each loged on user.

Iv'e found the Registry entry that I need to alter:

strKey="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security\OutlookSecureTempFolder"

objShell.RegWrite strKey, "D:\Documents And Settings\%UserName%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files", "REG_EXPAND_SZ"

I have a logon script in vbs that sets loads of settings on logon. Im stuck now, Ive changed the Drive to D:, however I can tink how to get the %UsernName% to pick up the current loggen on user. With out this it's doing me head in.

Is there a simple way to get the script to entry the current user into the %Username% field, so that each user will have a folder created on the D: with the outlook attachment saved to it.

Due to some great legacy software, I cant change to default user profile location the the D:

Any pointers whould be grand.

Cheers

Marty

To find out how to read environment variables (including the %USERNAME% one), have a read of my post here:

Hello Dan.

I've not been back into our office since my last post. Doing fibre pulling in not very dry or clean ducts this week. I have had a look at the link you sent. did a wander around the interweb and came up with this:

dim wsh
set wsh = createobject("WScript.Shell")
login_name = wsh.RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Logon User Name")

src = "C:\documents and settings\" & login_name & "\Favorites"

Now all i need to do is get this into my vbs script and call the logon user name into the temp outlook path on the D:

Like I said, I'm not the best a scripts. If you were to see the logon scrip you would laugh.

Thanks for the pointer, and I will let you know how I get on if I can get this god forsaken site online this side of Xmas

Cheers mate.

Marty
