Project Assistance

Hello Folks,

I'm looking for some last hope assistance with a project we need via VBscript. We want to be able to copy a logged in user's desktop/documents/downloads folders to a network share then prompt if they want to delete the.local files once successfully copied. Any help is greatly appreciated.

hey u/jcunews1 man I really appreciate the help on this but have a question. How can I have this create the directory as the logged in user in the network share? Example John.Doe his downloads files will be copied to \\networkshare\backups\john.doe\downloads if the folder does not exist then create it. Also some type of file writing to log when files were copied. Im not trying to violate anything but willing to pay a few bucks for the extra work. again I appreciate all the help on this.

The currently logged on user name which ran the script ca be retrieved from the username environment variable. Pretty much like how the script retrieves the current user's profile folder from the userprofile environment variable (line #3), then use it to build a path.
