Directory Configuration in C#

I would like to read from a htm file, that is located to the following directory:

C:\Users\**NAME**\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures

How can I change the path, so that I can use it from another computer, where the user name is not equal to the one above?

DirectoryInfo directoryInfo = new DirectoryInfo(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData + @"Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures");

Try this:

  Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData,Environment.SpecialFolderOption.None) + @"\Microsoft\Signatures"

Check also the possibility of parameter Environment.SpecialFolderOption

Environment.SpecialFolder is an enumeration, you need to call GetFolderPath to get the actual path. Also ApplicationData includes the "Roaming" part, so you don't need that

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) + @"\Microsoft\Signatures"
