Registry Access WinNT Vs Win95/98

[razzaj]

I have already tried to code registry manipulating functions under win95/98 ... but I was wondering if the same code works on an NT Work Station ...???

If so ... how does one retrieve the Username and Password
logged on the starting of win NT (the pass and userName one puts whe win NT Starts up)

Any Help is greatly apreciated

The registry api's (regopenkey, regclosekey, regqueryvalueex etc.) will work under nt, but expect some differences in the location the values are stored. Several keynames are different.
To get the username, use the GetUserName API.

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

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim sUserName As String
Dim retVal As Long
Dim lSize As Long
    lSize = 255
    sUserName = Space(lSize + 1)
    retVal = GetUserName(sUserName, lSize)
    sUserName = Left(sUserName, lSize)
    MsgBox sUserName
End Sub

Forget about the password. There is no way to get this.(unless you are specialised in hacking c2 level security)
