I'm trying to write a batch file that can copy a file from my computer to all computers in a list. It needs to be copied to the AllUsers Desktop (I'll use a domain admin account to run the batch file).

On my Win7 system, the `%ALLUSERSPROFILE%` returns C:\ProgramData. Is there a variable that returns the AllUsers Desktop path across every version of Windows? I have a mix of XP, Vista, and Win7.

There's no environment variable holding desktop path, but with [this post][1] you can see how to get it in batch (answers are for current user desktop, you'll need to adapt them for all users desktop

%public% works for Windows 10 and Windows 2011 Server and up

%ALLUSERSPROFILE% is used in Windows XP

But, you can look to see what the available variables are by running "SET" from a command prompt
