Do your users log into Win9X or do they bypass user security?

I don't think you can call API functions from FPW because of the difference in the 16 vs 32 bit. There may be an FLL converter for this but I'm not aware of of one. As for third-party products, since MS stopped supported FPW a year ago, if a vendor had one, my guess would be it would be out of production now and probably not available to the general public.

Another suggestion would be to go to the DOS prompt and type SET to see all the environment variables. Check if there is one that contains the current user name. If so, use the GETENV() function to retrieve that value.
