In my application I have a file with some information initialized to the
author's name.
I would like to pick it up automatically!
How do I do that?

Mhh.... almost there...
I found that:
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name

But the problem is, it returns that:
PC1\Lloyd Dupont

Is there a solution without the "Computer\" prefix?

If you want both it's easy enough to split:

MsgBox(System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name.Split("\"c)(1))
MsgBox(System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name.Split("\"c)(0))
