Question

On my PC its Owner (C:\Documents and Settings\Owner)
but its not that on every PC, so i want a command that will take it to the user thats logged in - current user

Answer 1

Windows makes this real easy for you.

By default, Windows populates the "username" environment variable with the name of the currently logged on user. Check on your PC. Go to a command prompt and type "set" then hit enter. This will list out your current environment variables. Near the bottom is "username"

You can include this in a batch file by bracketing the variable with %'s. Like,

%username%

You can test that by including a simple line in a batch or from the command line using,

@echo %username%

If you actually want the whole path to the logged on user's profile like "c:\documents and settings\myusername", then just use the builtin %userprofile% environment variable.

@echo %userprofile%

Answer 2

@echo off
for /f "tokens=3 delims=\" %%i in ("%USERPROFILE%") do (set user=%%i) 2>&1
echo "%user%"
pause

This should throw it into a local variable user and then display it on the screen.

Answer 3

@echo off for /f "tokens=3 delims=" %%i in ("%USERPROFILE%") do (set individual=%%i) 2>&a million echo "%individual%" pause this can prefer to throw it suitable into an area variable individual and then reveal it on the reveal.
