expanding environment strings

Hi!
I have a path in the following form:

"%USERPROFILE%\\test.txt"

and want to expand it to the original full path. I tried:

Path.GetFullPath("%USERPROFILE%\\test.txt")

but it didn't work either.

OK, I got it:

this.dstPath = Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables(dstPath);

did the job.
