How can I get the current user directory?
Try:
System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("USERPROFILE");Edit:
If the version of .NET you are using is 4 or above, you can use the Environment.SpecialFolder enumeration:
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile);
May be this will be a good solution: taking in account whether this is Vista/Win7 or XP and without using environment variables:
string path = Directory.GetParent(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData)).FullName;if ( Environment.OSVersion.Version.Major >= 6 ) { path = Directory.GetParent(path).ToString();}Though using the environment variable is much more clear.
You can get the UserProfile path with just this:
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile);
