Test-Path for everyone - powershell

Question

I'm currently creating a script for a group of users could use it. I use Test-Path "C:\Users\vincentw\allapps.txt to verify if allapps.txt exists on my local system before running the script:
if (!(Test-Path "C:\Users\vincentw\allapps.txt")) {
"All sw/apps" >> allapps.txt
"-------------------------------------------------------" >> allapps.txt
(Get-WmiObject Win32_Product |
where {$_.Vendor -notmatch "Advanced"} |
Format-List name, Vendor, Version |
Out-String).Trim() >> allapps.txt
"-------------------------------------------------------" >> allapps.txt
} else {
Write-Host "WARNING: File already exists!"
break
}
However, the script verifying only works on my local system. I'm wondering is there any way my local username - 'vincentw' could be replaced to make the script available check every user's local path on their own systems?

Answer 1

If the script will be run from their user on their computer then you could use $env:USERPROFILE
Test-Path "$($env:USERPROFILE)\allapps.txt"
If you want to do it on all profiles you can do something like this
Get-ChildItem "C:\Users\" -Directory | foreach-object{
If(!(test-path "$($_.FullName)\allapps.txt")){
"Missing : $($_.FullName)\allapps.txt"
}Else{
"Found : $($_.FullName)\allapps.txt"
}
}
