System Properties -> How to extract "User"

[> Adrian]

System Properties show the User. I would like to be able to extract that
information in an application (not change it, only retrieve it). How can
that be done?

Thank you,
Adrian.

I'm assuming you mean the name on the General tab of the system properties.

You can get it in this registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion in the
value RegisteredOwner

This is NOT THE SAME value as the currently logged on user. That you would
get this way

System.Environment.UserName
