I have users that have folders on a network drive that have their username part of the folder name.

How can I modify this search to work? kind:=folder %UserName%

Note: Below works, but i need to be able to use %username% to work.

kind:=folder jsmith

If that cannot work, can I edit a saved search in notepad for jsmith, and do a find and replace with something like "System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.UserName Kind:=folder"

It actually is my goal to make a .search-ms file that uses this.

Thanks!

  • Do you mean to use %USERPROFILE% instead of %USERNAME%. – Sql Surfer Jun 20 '16 at 04:54
  • No. Another Example: I have a network share with 1000 folders. Some of these folders have my username as part of the folders name: z:\server\share\folder\001jsmith, z:\server\share\folder\002jsmith, z:\server\share\folder\003jsmith. I want to type %username% or equivalent in the search box to instantly filter to show these 3 folders. – user3290881 Jun 20 '16 at 05:11
  • have you tried Environment.UserName? – Roman Jun 20 '16 at 05:14
  • Typing Environment.UserName into the search box did not filter the folders with my username for me. =( – user3290881 Jun 20 '16 at 13:03
