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?

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%

Anyone else?...If this is the case, how would I achive this?

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.
