How to get the WinNT-Login name with an applet?
Posted by Ronny Peterhans on January 27, 2000 at 10:59 PM
Hy,
I've created an applet to get the user name. It is pretty simple
because I used "System.getProperty("user.name");". I had no
problems with the security restrictions also! In Internet
Explorer everything works correctly and I get the Login User
name. But with the Netscape-Browser I got the name where I
defined the e-mail-address in the preferences menu
("ronny.peterhans"). Is there a possibility to get the "correct"
user name or do I have to read from the registry? If I have to
do so then please tell me how!
