Hi All,
Seems it is difficult to get the current windows logged on user.
I can run the dos shell SET command to see the windows use name.
It is fairly straight forward to get USERNAME using wscript.
The username is not in the registry AFAIK except in a numeric format.
How are you guys getting this value - assuming you needed it?
C#?
Do you create an ActiveX control?
