Getting the user's Documents folder in Powershell

Question

I want to use a PowerShell script to automate tasks related to the user when the user logs in. Sometimes a user will have moved his Documents folder from the default location. How can I determine the location of the user's Documents folder in PowerShell?

Accepted Answer

try this:

```
[Environment]::GetFolderPath("MyDocuments")

When supplying it to a command, make sure to place it into parentheses:

```
cd ([Environment]::GetFolderPath("MyDocuments"))
```
