How to get User names from Registry 1

[Doteco]

I'm wanting to populate a list with all of the User names on a PC. Have worked out how to get this from:-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/DocFolderPaths

but this only works if each user has logged in subsequent to being added as a user. Can't find where in the registry new user information is stored. Any clues?

What is your target OS? You're just looking for people that are added as a local user on the specific box?

I'm using XP but the final application may need to be compatible with Win98, ME etc. If I can get it working on XP for starters that'd be good. Yes, I only need it to find local users on a standalone PC.

Thanks, Doug.

See

for NT/2000/XP. I think your current approach would work for 98/ME as they don't have users that I am aware of until after they are logged on. I could be wrong though.

Thanks - had a quick look at it and will give it a go.

Appreciate your help. Doug
