get user id

[John]

Is there a way to get the logged in user and if the user id does not match
mine to log them out? I'm going on vacation for 2 weeks, and my co-workers
are pranksters, so if they log into my pc to do whatever, I want to kick
them out right away.

No, there isn't. This is what permissions are for. Why not just set
the permissions on your machine so that they can't access what you don't
want touched.

And if you don't have the rights to do this, this is what network admins
are for. They are to prevent this kind of thing.

Hi John,

Look at Environment.Use rName to get the username of the person who started
your application.

But, don't bother. If you can change your local computer policies, you can
deny certain users interactive logon rights to your workstation.

Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy

However, you yourself need access rights to update the local computer
security policy. Also, make sure you don't deny yourself interactive logon
rights.

Oh, and while you're at it (not to get paranoid or anything) -- you might
want to disable the C$ Administrative share, which requires a special
Registry entry....
Have a nice vacation!

Re: get user id

Actually, if the computer you are working on belongs to the company you are
working for, they have every right to log on to it. There are many reasons why
they might.

You want to be careful that you have a job to come back to.
