Stan and Bill are right. This is A way. But keep in mind that with the getEnv() function you can only read the environment variables that are defined by windows. Open a DOS-Box (command window) and enter SET. This shows you all the possible variables. 'Username' is there by default on all NT systems, but NOT on windows98, and it can easily be manipulated. The correct way would be to use the Win32API.

long _stdcall GetUserNameA (char* lpBuffer, long *nSize) in AdvApi32.dll

long _stdcall GetComputerNameA (char* lpBuffer, long *nSize) in Kernel32.dll

best regards,

It's the easiest way to get a concise list. Otherwise, they're stored at the
locations:

HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerEnvironment (for
system wide environment vars) and

HKCUEnvironment (vars for specific users).

It's the easiest way to get a concise list. Otherwise, they're stored at the
