    Hello,
    is there any way to find out the hard drive that windows is installed in? (local drive?)

    vb.net Code:
    1. IO.Path.GetPathRoot(Environment.SystemDirectory)
    I'm sure that's not the only way.

    And how about finding out the current user account?

    I know that these are both very short, simple questions but that's not a reason to stick them together in the same thread. This new question has nothing to do with the topic of this thread so it belongs in a thread of its own. One thread per topic and one topic per thread please.

    Just this once My.User.Name.

    Yes! That does the trick! Thanks for being so helpful (like always )

    I'll stick to one problem per thread!

    Thanks again!
