as a user of german XP, I would prefer the following line:


' An example of using environment variables when copying files.
' In this script a shortcut 'shortcut.lnk' is copied to the desktop
' of the %username% user profile.

set objFso=createObject("scripting.fileSystemObject")
set objWShell=wScript.createObject("WScript.Shell")

usrName=objWShell.expandEnvironmentStrings("%USERNAME%")

strFileToCopy="shortcut.lnk"
strFolder="C:\Documents and Settings\"&usrName&"\Desktop"

strFolder=objWShell.SpecialFolders.item("Desktop")

(in german versions it is called Dokumente und Einstellungen :-)


if objFso.folderExists(strFolder) then
objFso.copyFile strFileToCopy,strFolder&"\",true
end if
