• Visual C# Reading other user data from registry

  Here is a summary of what I am doing: 1. Running C# application as user1 2. Retrieve ntuser.dat file for user2 and load as a hive in registry 3. Reading HKEY_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders My issue is that when performing #3. The ntuser.dat file for user2 has %USERPROFILE%... in it. When the application retrieves this it is returning the %USERPROFILE% variable for user1. So the results from the ntuser.dat file for user2 for Desktop is C:\Documents and Settings\User1\Desktop.

  Hi, I need to find out, through code, the path name of where my VB.Net code is running. I have tried just about any "Application.*Path" possible, none of these gives me the answer.
