Getting a VBscript to access My Documents folder

I'm new to using the windows scripting host, and I'm trying to write a script which will copy a file to the current users My documents folder, then run it.

I know i can use %windir%\ to access the windows folder, but is there a %mydocuments%\ I can use?

I'm trying to use these 2 lines to copy a file over from a network path, then run it. I don't think I have the syntax correct for the my documents path tho, as I am a complete VBScript dweeb.


FSys.CopyFile "\\2000irdc\group_drive\HR\Ops_Display.mdb", "%homepath%\My Documents\sdb\", true
WShell.Run "%homepath%\My Documents\sdb\ops_display.mdb", 2, false
