Lisp to copy for example file "a.pdf" from downloads folder to desktop folder

[kameron.jones]

All, does anyone know what the directory for a generic users "downloads" folder is and if it can be copied to another folder via LISP?

I am very new to this and just a have a few tedious tasks I am trying to automate. 

I want to copy say filename "a.pdf" from downloads folder to desktop

Thanks in advance.

Check this code for copy folder (Lee Mac)

[Sea-Haven · Accepted solution]

Downloads is in C:\users\username\downloads 

(getenv 'username)

Thank you both; I was specifically looking for what @Sea-Haven provided, but yes Lee-Mac's site is very helpful and I may certainly find use for the copy folder command; thanks again!

@kameron.jones  You asked for generic download directory, and @Sea-Haven  provided correct answer (if not changed). My respond was about code used to copy files between directories.
