Creating an excel file in a users profile (on Desktop) with vbs

(edit) - I was able to figure it out, in case anyone ever needs it...

Just needed to add a few lines:

dim WSHShell, DesktopPath, objFSO

set objFSO=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set WSHshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
DesktopPath = WSHShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")

strWorkBook = (DesktopPath) & "\" & WshNetwork.ComputerName & "_" & WshNetwork.UserName & "-hardware.xls"

I'm sure this question will be no problem for one of you scripting guys. I'm sys admin so my scripting skills are not quite up to speed.

I have a vbs script which I've been hacking away on to take inventory of users PC's using some defi开发者_如何学Pythonned criteria..

When executed, the script basically creates an Excel file, then gathers some info and writes to that file. My problem is that I have to specify a path for the xls output, currently it's saving the file directly to the C:\ drive. For internal users, I've just been saving the file with a UNC path, but I need this for my external users who may not have access to the network.

I would like to have the path automagically set to the users profile like in a bat script ie: %UserProfile%\Desktop\somefolder

I'm just not that familier with .vbs is there an easy way to do this? Here is the script, you will probably notice some extra stuff in there, ignore that, it's from the previous version of this script.

TLDR - How to make the path automatically set to users Desktop (Win XP and 7)?

As usual many, many thanks for reading and or answering!
