So I'm trying to make a specific program (in python) and when I use the path command and say I want to go to the desktop, it's in C:\Users\Myname\Desktop. And if someone else downloads the file it won't be able to path because I do not know the users name.

Could you give an example of your code which is accessing the file? – ConnerWithAnE Apr 09 '22 at 10:59

Do Note: That If You Use The Above Method You Need To Add A Check to see if a user has Linux Or Windows Operating Systems. – mrtechtroid Apr 09 '22 at 11:04

If you want just username you can use this
os.environ["HOMEPATH"].split("\\")[-1]
# output: Afshar Sharifi
But if you want the whole path to desktop better to use thid
os.path.join(os.path.join(os.path.expanduser('~')), 'Desktop')
# output: C:\Users\Afshar Sharifi\Desktop
Afshar Sharifi
