Here's some code you can copy to a module to see if any of it is what you are
looking for.
Run the 'ShowInfo' procedure...

'/==========================================/
Private Declare Function GetUserName Lib "ADVAPI32.DLL" _
Alias "GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, _
nSize As Long) As Long

'/==========================================/
Sub ShowInfo()
MsgBox GetNetworkUserName()
Call ListEnviron
End Sub
'/==========================================/
Private Function GetNetworkUserName() As String
Dim strUserName As String

On Error GoTo Err_GetNetworkUserName

strUserName = String(255, 0)
GetUserName strUserName, Len(strUserName)

GetNetworkUserName = Application.WorksheetFunction. _
Clean(strUserName)

Exit_GetNetworkUserName:
Exit Function

Err_GetNetworkUserName:
GetNetworkUserName = ""
Resume Exit_GetNetworkUserName

End Function
'/==========================================/
Sub ListEnviron()
'from Microsoft.Public.Excel.Programming
' by Normal Harker on 08/01/2001
'
Dim new_value As String
Dim txt As String
Dim i As Integer

On Error Resume Next

i = 1
Do
new_value = Environ$(i)
If Len(new_value) = 0 Then Exit Do
txt = txt & new_value & vbCrLf
i = i + 1
Loop
txt = txt & "Active Printer = " & _
Application.ActivePrinter & vbCrLf
txt = txt & "Default Path = " & _
Application.DefaultFilePath & vbCrLf
txt = txt & "Library Path = " & _
Application.LibraryPath & vbCrLf
txt = txt & "Operating System = " & _
Application.OperatingSystem & vbCrLf
txt = txt & "Organisation Name = " & _
Application.OrganizationName & vbCrLf
txt = txt & "Start Up Path = " & _
Application.StartupPath & vbCrLf
txt = txt & "Excel Version = " & _
Application.Version & vbCrLf
txt = txt & "Current Workbook Path = " & _
Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path & vbCrLf
txt = txt & "Active Woorkbook Name = " & _
Application.ActiveWorkbook.Name
MsgBox txt
End Sub
'/==========================================/
