如何在Windows Service中为已登录用户查找appdata文件夹的路径

Question

I wrote a service and in the code I tried to get the AppData folder's path:

C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\

I tried:

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData)

But I got:

C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData

Answer 1

You're getting the AppData folder of the Account running the service. ( System Account ) There is no other user involved in it.

If you want a particular user's AppData folder, run the Windows Service under that user's account.
