Why do you want the MyDocument path? If you are doing something with the web you should write to a directory you can clean out with a script that is run periodically.

Personally I would recommend something like

Server.MapPath("./temp")

The above will give you the full path to the "temp" directory inside of where the current aspx page is.

When the application runs on the server the user account under it executes is surely not your local user account.

This is by definition and it's actually ok, you should design your application in a way that it's independent from the name of the execution account on the server.
