Use %USERNAME% in System.Diagnostics.Process.Start

  • Fred Malone

    Have a look at the Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables method.

  • MavecO

    Dim UserName As String = (Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables("%USERNAME%"))

    Process.Start("C:\Documents and Settings\" & UserName & "\Start Menu\Programs\My App\App.appref-ms")
