What do you enter into the Target field of a shortcut to create a shortcut to the "current" users My Documents? Windows 7, vista and XP info would be nice.

In Windows 7 & Vista it's: C:\Users\(User_Name)\Documents You will have to look at an XP system as I don't have on now and I don't remember for sure. Documents and Settings in XP was replaced by Users for the most part.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Yeah but I want the target to point to a location that opens the current users My Documents folder. If 10 different users have this one shortcut then whoever double clicks it will see there My documents So if user "A" double clicks this shortcut while logged in then it opens User "A"'s My Documents where as if User "B" is logged in and clicks the exact same shortcut it opens User "B"'s My Documents. I don't want a hard coded path for a specific users My Documents folder.

You could use %userprofile%\documents as long as it hasn't been moved from this default location. If it has, you'd have to reference the document location from the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders This is how programs can determine their default save location, but you wouldn't be able to create a shortcut to a path named in a registry variable.
