Hello,

I have a JSX script in "My Documents\Adobe Scripts" to make it trusted script. I have another text file I need to read from JSX. Since the location depends on logged in user, I need to find the windows username. If anyone know how to get the windows username from jsx please reply.

Thank you very much.

Regards

Nima.

Hey,

You can get username like this:

var myUsername = $.getenv('username');

You could also get My Documents folder like this:

var myDocFolder = Folder.myDocuments;

Hope that helps.
