getting the username

psn
When you say "this does not want to work", what do you exactly mean Are you getting errors, or no results, or something that is not expected

The following works for me on my XP machine:
```
import System; 
var username = System.Environment.UserName; 
print(username);
```
```
For example: 
```
```
F:\>whoami
MYPC\administrator

F:\>a.exe 
Administrator
```
Hope it helps.

It should work -

syntax:

Environment.Username - returns a string

What is the entire code you are using That line I have mentioned alone gives you a string back of the current user RUNNING the CURRENT process (i.e the application thread)

I tried this and I get an error 19(syntax error) on the import System line

what version of Jscript are you running

Hi,

What if I want to get the current logged on windows user Not the current process user.

Cos if I use Environment.Username in ASP.net, it returns ASPNET as user. I've enabled Anonymous Login for the site as I do not want to use Intergrated Windows Login. I just want the current windows username.
