my desktop path is D:\xjw11\Desktop\

Code:

local path = os.getenv("USERPROFILE")
return path


return:
1:C:\Users\xjw11


Code:

local path = os.getenv("HOMEPATH")
return path

return:
1:\Users\xjw11

You can specify the letter yourself.
Code:

local driveLetter = 'D:'
local homePath = os.getenv("HOMEPATH")
local desktopPath = homePath .. '\\Desktop'

print('Desktop path: ' .. driveLetter .. desktopPath)


Or if you want a more concise version:
Code:

return 'D:' .. os.getenv("HOMEPATH") .. '\\Desktop'


Another option is utilising Powershell to retrieve the property for you:
Code:

local pipe = io.popen('powershell -command \"[Environment]::GetFolderPath(\'Desktop\')\"')
if pipe == nil then error('Something went wrong, invalid command or nil result.') end
local p = pipe:read('*all')
pipe:close()
print(p)
