    Code:
    Private Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long
    Function UserName() As String
        Dim temp As String
        temp = Space(255)
        If GetUserName(temp, 255) Then
           UserName = Left$(temp, InStr(temp, vbNullChar) - 1)
        End If
    End Function
    put this in a module, use Username function to retrieve yourself, hehe
