List local user accounts and their home directories

Hi,

how can I (easily) list all local user accounts as user name/home directory?

Thanks.

David,

If you want to get the list of local user accounts, you can use a WMI
query for all instances of the Win32_UserAccount object where the
LocalAccount property is true.

As for getting the directory for that user, see my response to your
other post on this topic.

Hope this helps.
