To use the registry class, you first have to have to open the key:

#DEFINE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE          -2147483646
SET CLASSLIB TO REGISTRY.VCX ADDITIVE
oReg = CREATEOBJECT('Registry')
RELEASE CLASSLIB REGISTRY
IF oReg.OpenKey('Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\DefaultUserName) = 0 && ERROR_SUCCESS
  lcuser = SPACE(100)
  IF oReg.GetKeyValue("", @lcuser) = 0 && Get the default value
    ? lcuser
  ENDIF
ENDIF

To get the currently logged in user, you can use either the GetUserName() API call, or if available the Windows Script Host's Network object UserName property.
