  Subject: [windows2000] Scripting question


  Anyone know how I need to specify the path to the local "My documents"
folder on a machine for a vbs script?

  I am using this script to syncronize two folders. Works fine between two
folders when I paths like C:\temp and C:\test. But I seem to get it wrong
specifying the path to

  c:\documents and settings\user id\my documents. (user id of course should
be the logged on user

  Any idea how I can specify that path with the user id retrieved
automatically so that it runs on that local my documents folder no matter
which user is logged in? I want to allow certain users to manually
syncronize the my documents folder with a network share (once everything
works)

  '  stash1, stash2, and stash3 are the paths to where the files are that
need to be
  ' synchronized.  As computer or folder names change, these variables
should be
  ' updated to reflect the correct information.
