Talking Migration/Imaging Script to backup profiles

Where I work we are going to be starting a HUGE migration. Most of the computers will be imaged to meet our new requirements. We have close to 500 users and there are NO roaming profiles. Before we image the machines, I have to go to each machine and backup the user's My Documents, Favorites, Desktop, etc. I foudn a script that will do this, but I'd have to edit the script for each user. I would have to manually put in the script to backup: c:\Documents and Settings\jsmith\desktop.... and so on. Is there any way to have the script request a username? So the script would have C:\Documents and settings\<what you entered in the prompt here>\My Documents, etc? Is there also a way to make a script see the thumb drive (that I'm backing up to) and automatically do that? right now I again have to edit the script depending on which drive the USB thumb drive is.

So what I need is:
a simple .bat or .vbs file that asks who is the user?
I would type it in Jsmith
it would then go to all the folders I have for that user and copy those to the thumb drive.

*It has to ask for the user because the machines are shared among many.
Thanks.
