    Is there any way to get the users login name from the registry using VBScript? I can do it in VB6 but it requires a module.

    somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that is possible. That would be a big time security risk from a scripting language. I think your best bet is going to be prompting the user for their name and storing it in a session variable or a cookie.

    you can do it in VBScript, your users might get a security message though:

    Code:
    <html>

<head>

<script language=vbscript>

sub ReadIt()

	dim oShell

	set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

	alert(oShell.RegRead("HKCR\.vbp\"))

end sub


</script>

</head>

<body onload="ReadIt()">




</body>

</html>
