Find the explicit path of %USERPROFILE% in windows 7

Question

I am trying to find the current %USERPROFILE% path on windows 7.

What is the simplest way to do this?

I've tried hunting around with regedit

N.b. I'm doing this as part of setting up a python virtual envionment on windows.

Solution 1

If you're not looking for a python-specific answer, you can just open a command prompt and run echo %userprofile%.

Solution 2

Managed to do it using python:

import os
os.environ['USERPROFILE']

Does this stackoverflow.com/questions/4906977/… help?

echo %userprofile% in a command prompt doesn't suffice?

I put it in, but you can accept it or your own answer. Whatever floats your boat. ;)
