Re: vbscript to save file to a folder under user profile

sorry for my poor scripting knowledge. how does that help me to define the
folder path since it varies based on logon ID? I saw some profile folders
are names under userid and others are in the format as userid.domainname. If
I can get the proper folder name of the profile as the user logs on then I
can specify the path with that folder variable. Is it the right way to do?
how to get there?

Thanks.

I'm working on a vbscript, which will be added to our logon script. The
script will query our SQL server and generate a signature file and save it
to
a folder under user's profile. For example, the file is called
company.htm
and will be saved at c:\documents and settings\<userid>\application
data\microsoft\signatures. How can I define the path in the script so the
file will be saved properly under each profile. Some computers are shared
by
roaming users. I'm sure it's very easy but I'm not good at vbscript so
please help.

thanks.

You can extract an environmental variable like so:
Set objWshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WScript.Echo "UserProfile=" &
objWshShell.Environment("PROCESS")("UserProfile")
