I have a little batch file that uses %username% to do some stuff. That

if the username is Fred, %username% is Fred in XP and Fred-PC$ in 7. Of
course, that breaks the batch file. Am I doing something wrong or did MS
really change this?
Interesting. Just checked on another 7 machine (this one 7 Ultimate instead
of 7 Home Premium) and it shows the variable normally. Now I'm really
confused.
Has the username been changed? Try creating a new user and testing that
and changing the name of a user that is working properly.
