User Name and UserFullName

It would be appear that users have two names, UserName and UserFullName.
This can be demonstrated by changing a user name then getting a list of
users (see code below)

However the only way I know of of finding the current user is
Environment.name which returns the original name. How can I get the full
name of the current user?
Many thanks

Jack Russell

I have the following code in VB .net 2003
s = "Select * from Win32_UserAccount WHERE Domain =""" +
Environment.MachineName.ToString + """"
moSearch = New Management.ManagementObjectSearcher(s)
moReturn = moSearch.Get
For Each mo In moReturn
Try
If mo("disabled").ToString = "False" Then
msgbox(mo("name").tostring)
msgbox(mo("fullname").tostring)
End If
Catch e As Exception
ReportBug(e, "makinguserlist in
programoptions_initform")
End Try
Next
