// Creates a file called "test.txt" on the currently logged-in
// user's desktop
File.Create(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop) + "\\testfile.txt");

// Or if you only want to find out the user that is currently logged in
String userName =  Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("username");
// Creates a file called "test.txt" on the currently logged-in
