oioldman Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 just for note =>%userprofile% relates to the Default User account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 just for note =>%userprofile% relates to the Default User accountNO IT DOESN'T!%USERPROFILE% = the location of the currently logged in users profile. I.e. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator or C:\WINNT\Profiles\joe.The only time that %USERPROFILE% points to the Default User profile is during setup (cmdlines.txt) or before anyone has logged in.If you're writing a script and need a variable to point to the Default User profile - you have to make it yourself like this:SET DEFAULTUSERPROFILE=%USERPROFILE%\..\Default User Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazin Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 %AllUserProfile% doesn't exist, it's %AllUsersProfile%Good eye! Add to your collection: %homedrive% is definitely C: drive regardless it's being your system drive or not.Just type it in Run box and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepnmojo Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 @mazin:%HOMEDRIVE% is the drive where your profile resides.D:\Documents and Settings\mazinHOMEDRIVE is D:HOMEPATH is \Documents and Settings\mazin@Nois3The %USERPROFILE% is the default profile in setup, which is probably the best time to set the variable. It may also not also have the name Default User, but can instead be Default User.COMPNAME. Either pulling from the registry, or setting it during setup is the best solution here.

oioldman Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 OK, so if %USERPROFILE% isn't Default User, what is?As it holds the path to Accessibility folder and also Sytem Tools and I need these removed, and all other SET variables do not work.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenedy Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 OK, so if %USERPROFILE% isn't Default User, what is?There is no environment variable for default users profile.Add this line to your .bat file, then %DefaultUser% will point to "Default User"set DefaultUser = "%Allusersprofile%\..\Default User" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 set DefaultUser = "%Allusersprofile%\..\Default User"You will not find default user profile in all users profile dir?Instead you may have to use the long way instead. Set DefaultUser = "%Systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Default User" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
