Re: User name and full username

The getusername api returns the username not the full username.

Unfortunately you logon with the full user name (you can make these
different by modifying an existing name with control panel, user
accounts).

Is there a simple way to obtain the full user name of the logged on
user?

You must be on an XP "fast user switching" (FUS) box? You don't actually
log on with the Full Name, just click on it. To be anal. <g>

Anyway, I suspect what you're after is offered by NetUserGetInfo.
