Question:

Get the current Logged-on user from Windows NT? (preferably registry)

I searched your database and found out how for Win 95 but I didn't see anything for NT.

Answer:

1. Running from the users own session???

   AddExtender("wwwnt34I.dll")
   user =wntGetUser(@default)
   Message("I am",user)
   

2. There is also the wntCurrUsers function that *may* be helpful if you are trying to run as a service or something.

3. In NT:

   HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon[DefaultUserName]
   

   In Win9x:

   HKLM\Network\logon[Username] 
   

   is the name of the last interactively logged on user.
