Out of the box, old ange-ftp took the windows user name as the default (actually there are a few variables: ange-ftp-default-user's value is nil Documentation: *User name to use when none is specified in a file name. If non-nil but not a string, you are prompted for the name. If nil, the value of `ange-ftp-netrc-default-user' is used. If that is nil too, then your login name is used. Once a connection to a given host has been initiated, the user name and password information for that host are cached and re-used by ange-ftp. Use M-x ange-ftp-set-user to change the cached values, since setting `ange-ftp-default-user' directly does not affect the cached information. May be tramp should have a similar parameter, which again if unset defaults to the login name. For some the windows login name is the same as the remote Unix username.
