Hi,

And what you are trying to do is ? At first sight the registry and a
function that would return a user name are unrelated.

Are you looking for System.Environment.UserName to get the current user or
Microsoft.Win32.Registry.Users to get access to the registry user specific
values ?
 
There are approximately 40,000 types in all of the .NET Framework. What you
would consider common, others wouldn't.

The "My" namespace is a created construct that is contained in the
Microsoft.VisualBasic assembly. It's available as a native part of every VB
..NET project and you will find it in the Object Browser, listed within the
project you are working on, as a namespace of your project.

There is no easy path to learning .NET. I suggest that rather than try to
piece together what you need, you back up and start at the beginning by
picking up a book on VB .NET and the .NET Framework.

Thanks for responding. This was just what the wizard converted it to, not
me.
Yes it was environment.UserName that worked per other post
Thanks
