That value is the string representation of the user's security identifier (SID). To get a real SID, you can call ConvertStringSidToSid. Then you can call LookupAccountSid to get the account name. To go the other way, use LookupAccountName and ConvertSidToStringSid. There's no guarantee that a particular user's registry hive will be loaded and accessible via HKey_Users, though. Typically, the only hives loaded are the ones for accounts that are currently logged in. > Every user has a different key, how can I determine the correct key for the > current user? The key of the user the program is running as is always mapped to HKey_Current_User. -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
