Here's a good question, and the answer is probably right in from of
me.

I want to retrieve the name of the user that is logged in on a certain
PC from C#. Let me give you an example.

I'm making a media player (web based) that can play videos, music, and
images. As many of you know, the default location of most people's
media is "C:/Users/'Username'/Documents/Music || Movies || Pictures".
The username variable is the name you use to login to your computer.
For example, mine is Administrator. I use AD, but for those that don't
connect to a domain, I want to be able to retrieve that name as well.
This name will be added into the above string to define a default
location to load media from. So, lets say someone uses Windows XP
Home, which does'nt allow connection to a domain, and they login with
the name "Jojo9696". How can I find that name in C#, so I can
construct my path string?

I know this question is kind of complicated, or maybe just asked
wrong, but think of it like this: When you click your start menu, and
it tells you the name you used to log into your computer, I want to
retrieve that name.

Any ideas?
