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
