| opening dialogue box.

Ah, sorry. I should have realised what you were after.
As far as I know, the service is running as SYSTEM,
and only the Win32_Session object would have the details
of which user had logged in. I don't run XP, so I can't
check at the moment. I suggest Googling (possibly
Google-Grouping) for: WMI win32_session username -- or
something similar to see if anyone else has done the
same. If they have I'm sure we can translate back to
Python.

| (why not "_wmi", "win32wmi", "2umi" ...)

All possible, I know! it's just a question of deciding
whether to or not. Did you see Mark H's email about having
pywin32 exclude system32 from the path?

(By the way, the 2umi one took me a couple of moments
to work out!)
