[RESOLVED] Why I can't create Folder on Desktop by VB

[riteshtechie]

I don't know what went wrong, but I am not able to create a folder using the following code

My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(Environ("%UserProfile%") & "\Desktop\abc")

You should write full path to directory. Here is simple code:

Dim strUser As String
        strUser = Environment.UserName
        My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory("C:\Documents and Settings\" & strUser & "\Desktop\abc")

How about

My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop) & "\abc")

You should write full path to directory. Here is simple code:

Dim strUser As String
        strUser = Environment.UserName
        My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory("C:\Documents and Settings\" & strUser & "\Desktop\abc")

No No No No No!

Use the proper facilites provided by .Net.

What if someone is not using an English language version of Windows where "Documents and Settings" is called something totaly different? Or if documents and settings isn't on the C: drive?
