Creating Installer EXE with NSIS

I'm trying to create an installation file that will extract files into a folder in their user folder (C:\Users\Richard\Folder, or C:\Documents and Settings\Richard\Folder for XP). I'm absolutely new to this, and I'm wondering how I would get the installer to install a folder directly into their user's folder. It gives me options such as $DESKTOP, $PROGRAMFILES, etc., but none of them go into the C:\Users\"YourUsername" folder, and it doesn't recognize $USERPROFILE or $USERNAME.

Does anyone know if there is a $____ that I can enter that will take me to the users folder?

EDIT: Nevermind, I solved the problem. It uses the $PROFILE variable instead. Mods can close or delete or whatever.

Another thing to mention is that usually you use percent signs to show this.... %userprofile%
