UserName from Registry Converting from VB6

[UncleCake]

Hi, I am just now starting to program with VB.Net after using VB6 still for the past several years. One of the programs (Class) I am converting over gets the UserName from the registry. I have found the

  System.Environment.UserName

but I am getting a security warning when I am testing it on my computer. I currently also have a separate function for Win 2000. Is this needed for .Net? I have searched the net for a lot, but I couldn't find anything concrete on the best way to read the user name.

UncleCake,

Try the following code block.

Imports System
Imports System.Security

Public Module WindowUser
   Sub Main()
      Console.WriteLine("Current username: " & [b][COLOR=red]Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name)[/color][/b]
   End Sub
End Module

Hope it helps.
