            var proc2 = new ProcessStartInfo();
            proc2.UseShellExecute = true;

            proc2.WorkingDirectory = @"C:\Windows\System32";

            proc2.FileName = @"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe";
            proc2.Verb = "runas";
            proc2.Arguments = "/c move x.bat C:\Users\HERE";       
            proc2.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
            Process.Start(proc2);

If you have administrator right than scan users folder and than search each folder for that file location. There are 3 step's scan folder - search file - move file — Maytham Fahmi, Mar 31 '19 at 15:26

The closest would be the environment variable %userprofile%, which contains the path to the current user's directory: C:\Users\Somebody.

You can do like this:

String foldername = @"C:\Users\" & Environment.UserName

Getting user name with the command : Environment.UserName
