I have a windows service running on my machine. How can I get MyDocuments folders of each users?
For example:
For Windows XP I must get list:
- C:\Documents and Settings\User1\My Documents
- C:\Documents and Settings\User2\My Documents
- ...
For Windows 10 I must get list:
How can I get these lists ?
I would suggest using this solution and then just enumerate folders ( for each user ).
// getUserProfilesPath() is a method from https://stackoverflow.com/a/41752173/3179310
string path = getUserProfilesPath();
// now use WMIC to get all users on the local machine
SelectQuery query = new SelectQuery("Win32_UserAccount");
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(query);
foreach (ManagementObject result in searcher.Get())
{
// and check if their folder exists
if(Directory.Exists(Path.Combine(path, result["Name"])))
{
// user folder exists so now check if it has Documents folder
if(DirectoryExists(Path.Combine(path, result["Name"], "Documents")))
{
DirectoryInfo userDocuments = new DirectoryInfo(Path.Combine(path, result["Name"], "Documents"));
// userDocuments is now a directory info of that user's documents folder
}
}
}
