If so, then it depends on the filing system. If the drive is FAT (or
successors, including FAT32), then I strongly suspect not.

On the other hand, NTFS has much more information, including who the
owner is. The creator, I suspect not.

Look at GetFileSecurity(), GetSecurityDescriptorOwner(), and
LookupAccountSid().

Hi Remy

With Your help and some code from the net I
got the username, great!

Is there anyway that I can get the real name 
of the user ?

Thanks again
Kind regards
Asger

Look at NetUserGetInfo()

Thanks Remy

It works like a charm, You are the best..:-)

One last question:

At the moment I am testing this on my own system
with no server, so the users are all local.

I set the servername in NetUserGetInfo to NULL 
but if I am to use this on a server system i need
a servername.

Can I use the ReferencedDomainName i get from the 
call to LookupAccountSid as servername or is there 
an other way ?

When I try it on my system it seem to work but
will it work on a system with server ?

Thanks again
Kind regards
Asger

LookupAccountSid(
    LPCTSTR lpSystemName,
    PSID Sid,
    LPTSTR Name,
    LPDWORD cbName,
    LPTSTR ReferencedDomainName,
    LPDWORD cbReferencedDomainName,
    PSID_NAME_USE peUse
   );
