Powershell Enviroment Variables not found

Question

I'm trying to create a Shortcut for a powershell script that uses [Environment]::UserName the shortcut will be started from the correct user I want to read from env variable.

%SystemRoot%\syswow64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -NoLogo -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -noexit -File "C:\test\test.ps1"

This the target on the shortcut. How can I make Env variables work?

Thanks

Answer 1

The powershell syntax i use for environment variables is

$env:username 

If you are using it in a string or path you need to make sure the parsing order is correct.

$($env:username) 

so if your username is user1 and you want path

C:\Users\user1\test.ps1 

you would use

C:\Users\$($env:username)\test.ps1
