Use the GetUserName API:

Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long

Since you are new to API stuff I add this too..

Private Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long


Private Sub Your_Sub()
Dim strUSerName As String
'Create a buffer
strUserName = String(100, Chr$(0))
'Get the username
GetUserName strUserName, 100
'strip the rest of the buffer
strUserName = Left$(strUserName, InStr(strUserName, Chr$(0)) - 1)

MsgBox "Hello " + strUserName
End Sub
