How To Generalize User Account
Apr 24, 2009
I don't have any code written as of yet but here is what I'm trying to do...Suppose 'JOHN' is the user of computer 1 and I wrote an application that accessed his ccount...particularly some folder within his 'JOHN' name....obviously when I code it I would use the 'JOHN' name...PROBLEMBut what if I want to use the same application on another computer with another user's name (eg. JILL), is there a code I can use to generalize the 'user'?, for example...%accountuser% or something like that?

I thought I postet this yesterday but I can't find my thread so if this is a duplicate please point me at the original one. Background: I need to create a user account and Modify it's registry before the user logs on the first time. Creating the account is done by using the Winnt provider (works great). To create the profile I'm trying to use Process.start to launch a process as the newly created user. With the use of loaduserprofile property the users profile gets created and i can do my regwrites without problem.

I have a couple of questions. For each username or group in windows there is an id/s number associated with it... how would I be able to use the number/id or what ever its called to get the actual Name of the user/group? Example of the id i'm talking about: S-1-5-21-839522115-1563985344-1957994488-501 To be able to get a list of these ids they are stored in.

I need to be able to validate the windows password of the account that is currently logged in. I've managed to do this when the unit has a password. But if it does not have a password, passing an empty string does not work. It fails each time.I've been looking around, but haven't been able to find much on this. Does anyone know how to determine if the user password is empty?[code]

I have made a program that i would like to be able to move from PC to PC; at the moment i would have to change the string directories within the program for each PC i would like top run it on.
By having the user select their drive letter and type their account name into a text box could this be implemented into a directory.
Below is the code, as i was hoping it was coded (lol never is tho).
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim Filename As String = ("*.torrent")

I'm trying to copy a file to "My Documents" folder via VB.Net. But my problem is that I don't know how to set the path. For example on my computer the path looks like this:
"C:Documents and SettingsArithmeticaMy Documents".
as you see this path only exists on my computer. I'm trying to find a way to retrieve the windows account username right in VB.Net.

I am looking into programming an application that detects noise levels. If the level is over a specific threshold it will lock a logged on user account. The idea behind this application is to reduce noise levels in a busy IT suite. My question is has anyone written anything similar and did it prove to be effective and is VB the best programming language for the job?

I have a vb.net 2008 application that is supposed to run at startup. After meeting certain conditions, the PC is supposed to restart. Below is the code that is failing:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("shutdown", "-r -t 00 -f", myUsername, myPassword, myDomain)
myUsername and myDomain are both strings while myPassword is a SecureString. The application works properly when execute manually, but give the following error when executed from startup (either by placing in the startup folder or by adding to the registry):
The directory name is invalid
Also, the program executes properly when the last 3 arguments are left out and the user has the necessary rights.
How do I force a restart using an specific, alternate user credentials on startup?
