Display end users name

[Bruce]

I know I've seen this before...
I would like to display the end users name on the screen
no matter what version of windows there running.
Any body?

Re: Display end users name

If you have the latest version and the latest help file look at the examples in Command Reference - Actions - Registry - Set Value - Examples - Storing Information in the Registry. This example shows how to use the registry to store a username in the registry. This might be a good place to start. I don't know if this is what you are looking for or not but thought it might be a good place to start.

Nop that's not what I needed! I need to look in the reg. for there name but for all OSs without the end user inputing their name at all.
Thx

How about a text object with a variable of %Regowner% ?

This, of course is the PC owner rather than the actual user .., but without asking them, I would think its about as close as you are going to get.

See also %Regorganisation%

For what do you need their system user name specifically without asking for it?

Like 3.0, you could have a welcome page that displayed their name. Welcome %name%

As posted above, use %RegOwner%. That should do exactly what you are after.
