All,

I have reviewed the several ways of retrieving a User Name from various
postings here. I have listed 3 below. Are the results of each is coming
from different places? Can someone tell me from where each is pulling the
UserName info?

I am currently assuming that the API & WScript are coming from the same
place since I rec'd the same answer (until someone tells me otherwise). Are
there pros/cons of using the WScript vs. API function?

Thank your for any assistance.
