    Lads,

    I have a basic Visual Basic script set up for deleting old user profiles on multi-user machines, and the only bit i'm having trouble i'm having is how to check who the current user logged in is?

    i want to get this ID (eg. vinnyl ) and use it so that the script doesn't attempt to delete the current logged in users profile... can any of you help?

    Vin

    You could try using WMI, or the NetWkstaUserEnum Win32 api to retrieve the information.

    i'm trying to avoid doing anything over the .net framework though, all i want to do is check the current logged in user on the machine so that the script doesnt try and delete their profile...

    set objNetwork = createobject("wscript.network")
wscript.echo objNetwork.Username

    Should do it
