Annoying IIS Authentication

All,

I need help on how to get Windows' username in an Intranet environs. Already i get their usernames through IIS authentication. The basic authentication of IIS will force a dialog box for the user to fill and the variable is available through server variable "AUTH USER".

The workflow that is being implemented becomes cumbersome when a user receives five e-mail notifications for forms to be filled. If the user mistakenly closes the browser then he/she has to log on again invariably many times because once the browser closes, it loses the info.

I need a way to get to the NT registry and pick the username without the forced dialog box since the user already logged on to the network. If i can be able to get the username then it can go to a session variable/cookie.

Thanx
Larry Oysterbar ride to success. Keep Riding
