You can use Environment.GetFolderPath() and Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile to get the current user profile path, like so:

var userDir = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile);

But be aware that this isn't always a good idea, especially if you're dealing with Roaming User Profiles.

A roaming user works on more than one computer on a network. A roaming user's profile is kept on a server on the network and is loaded onto a system when the user logs on.

In that case the Microsoft recommended place to store application specific data is the ApplicationData directory, which you can access like this:

var appData = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData);
