0	Hi, It Returns a WindowsIdentity object that represents the current Windows user. for eg: IntPtr accountToken = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Token; Console.WriteLine( "Token number is: " + accountToken.ToString()); or Response.Write(" " + WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name.ToString()); o/p: we will get Windows UserName Tobi, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	thanks for your answear the problem is that i would like to write a windows service (localsystem) launched by the system not the user but when the user is connected i would like to get his username. when i use WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name.ToString()) it returns "system" because the service is launched by the system then i can't get the user connected name i think that my first service has to launch another user service and this service will get the user name. please help????
