LOGINNAME and USERNAME do not match to Windows user profile.

AutoCAD-LT 2024

Windows 11

Command: (getvar 'savefilepath)
"C:\\Users\\pwa_0\\appdata\\local\\temp\\"

Command: (getvar 'loginname)
"jpw"

Command: (getvar 'username)
"jpw"

What is the simplest way to locate the windows current user directory name?

From the example above, I am looking for "pwa_0".

getvar, getenv, registry, or VL(?).

I am trying to build support paths inside an installer LSP.

Thanks in advance.

there's no (getvar 'username)

but (getenv "username") should get same results as (getvar 'loginname)

so in your example, I'm not sure how it's ever possible to get "pwa_0"

when you're logged in from Windows as "jpw"

FYI: you can use (getenv) to retrieve any of the SET variables done in DOS like:

(getenv"localappdata")

(getenv"userprofile")

Paul,

Thank you for the heads up.

LocalAppData will need trimming for what I require.

UserProfile I can build from.

For W11 and R2024-LT, UserName can be accessed from both getvar and getenv.

Another promising method, but it does not work is LASTPROMPT.

Had this behaved correctly after a LSP/FAS drag-and-drop I would not be asking.

What would work is (getvar "SECONDTOTHELASTPROMPT").

@scot-65 This should match your current username: (getenv "temp")
