Hi

Is it possible to get the currently logged in username in windows 2000/xp?

Thanks

Regards
 
Yes, you can obtain the current identity using this:

WindowsIdentity identity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
string userName = identity.Name;

You can use 'Environment.UserName' to get the name of the user who
started the thread.
 
Hi John, the user in which your application context is running can be gotten
by Environment.Username, but if you want the *real* user, it will require a
bit of coding.

Generally, however, Environment.UserName is the best way to go, if you're
sure your app is being run by a user.
