win32api.GetUserName() returns SYSTEM (account which launches the
service), not the name of the guy who entered his name in the session
opening dialogue box.
Maybe I can get it somewhere in the registry (HKLM) or ask it to the
samba logon server.
The difficulty is that a NT service can't read HKey Current User, HKCU
is only a link to HKU\SID-XXX-XXXX-...\ and there are many ways to log
on a XP box. In the last case I'm serene because the XP boxes where the
service will be installed on will never have an FTP, Terminal server or
quick user switch installed on it. Maybe there's a way to get my
information with wmi ...
