Re: how to detect the currently logged in Windows user?

Try grabbing the registry key
HKey_current_user/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Explorer/Logon User Name. One
of the other registry reading scripts can tell you how to grab a registry
key more generically.

give me a shout if that works... that'll actually be a decent one. I don't
know how it will behave on a  terminal server though.
