I guess I should have said this earlier, but this is for an engineering
tool that will be used only within our organization. Therefore everyone is
logging into the same domain, and has a similar email address
(joe.smoe@smoe.com).
So I'd like to get the users full name somehow. I've looked at using
NetUserGetInfo() but it doesn't work with Windows 98. I can get the user's
UserName using GetUserName() (jsmoe), but I need a way to get the user's
full name that is compatible with Windows 98.
Thanks,
Jeff
