Convert from URL to File Path String?

[Jim Ault]

if"/Users" is in urlLocal then
--multi user OS installed
else if "/Documents/" is in urlLocal then
--single user machine
else if "/My Documents/" is in urlLocal then
--single user machine
else 
-- do a third action here
end if

I don't have that much experience with all the versions and platforms
