Registry %user% entry

F

Fred

Hello folks,

I'm attempting to modify the environment variables and registry entries so
that the user profile defaults to a network share with usernames in the
directory. Example:

\\server\directory\%user%

I have a bunch of folders that mimic the usernames......

All this did was create a directory on the network share named '%user%'....

I would like this share to be the default directory to save some data from
an application that generates a lot of results. (thus the need for the
network share)


Can anyone help.

Thanks!

Open CMD and type SET to look for the variables
The environment variable you have to use is not %User% (which doesn't
exist) but %username%.

Ciao, Walter
