Thanks Martin. believe it or not, I found the following works: %HOMEPATH%\ (smile)! Can you do me a big favor and test this path using the run dialogue to verify that it works on your computer too? Andre PS: thanks for the previous WordWeb help. Put that aside for a moment to finish up on my current project but will get back to your information and the other lister's info in a couple of days. Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Slack" <m.g.slack@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2011 12:44 AM Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: Generic paths to user folders Hi Andre, Have you tried %USERNAME% as the username element in your proposed path? One way to test if you have this environment variable set on your own machine is to type: echo %USERNAME% at a command prompt and see what is printed in reply. hth Martin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andre Williams" <andre.williams.1965@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2011 8:33 AM Subject: [jawsscripts] Generic paths to user folders > Does anyone know how I can create the path to a folder using a generic > user > path?
