    What you mean by Login Info? you mean the current user?

    VB Code:
    1. Dim id As Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity = Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent

    2. MessageBox.Show(id.Name)
    'Heading for the automatic overload'

    Environment.UserName() will give you their login name.
