运行命令转到用户的文档文件夹（类似于％appdata％）？

Question

Putting %appdata% into the run window will open up the Appdata folder, but what is the command to open the User's Documents folder, even when someone else logs in? I thought it was something like %userdir%, but I can not find out what it is. Not sure what to search for in Google either so I am at a loss.

There is no environment variable for this. You'll need to set one. Here's a list of all Windows default environment variables:

^{*This is for XP, but should be the same for newer versions of Windows}

For a single terminal session , you can just use

set USERDOCS=%USERPROFILE%\Documents

For all terminal sessions , you'll need to set a system environment variable. You can do this using the GUI or using setx -m USERDOCS %USERPROFILE\\Documents , as described here .

The command to make this happen would be

explorer %USERDOCS%

But if you wanted to make an alias to that (ie a openuserdocs command), I can update and explain.
