user name

How would i find out what a user name is so that i might insert it to check for the validity of a file?

EX: user name is John

click a button: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Documents and Settings\" + user + "\desktop")

Does this make sense?

No. Ask the user or look it up.

Something to think about: "Documents and Settings" and "Desktop" might change depending on the OS language and version. Windows Vista, for example, uses "Users" instead of "Documents and Settings".
