WTSGetActiveConsoleSessionId will get you the terminal session number of the current console. If someone is logged in at the console then this will be their session; otherwise this session will be owned by winlogin (waiting for someone to log in).
WTSQuerySessionInformationW, when called with appropriate parameters, can get the username of whoever is logged into a terminal session (including the console, as above). Beware that WTSQuerySessionInformationA is broken. If your application is ANSI then you have to call the Unicode version WTSQuerySessionInformationW and then call WideCharToMultiByte.

I am creating a windows service which is running under Localsystem account.
How can i find out the username of the currently logged in user.
GetUserName() function returns "SYSTEM". Even the GetTempPath() function
returns the path of systems temp directory. And every access to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry key gives me wrong information as the current user
in such case is .Default
Can anyone please tell me a way to find out the name of the logged in
windows user??? The service has to run in system context so i cant change it.
Thanks in Advance...
