Hi,

If you want the registered owner use the build in variable %RegOwner%, or try looking in the registry, under: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Logon User Name

Hi,

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Logon User Name will probably work on any Windows NT, 2000, and XP machine. Have you tried using the %RegOwner% built-in variable? Did that provide you with the functionality that you want?

What User Name are you looking for in Windows 95?

You also might try looking under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\CurrentUser

That appears to work under Windows 98. You might have to read the User Name from different retgistry keys for different operating systems.

How do I find this built-in variable?
