Hello Everybody,

I need to get the User's Full Name of the current logged user, not the
Username.

Not the result of SysUtils.GetEnvironmentVariable('USERNAME')


Thank you very much in advance

GetUserNameEx( https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/windows/desktop/ms724435(v=vs.85).aspx )? You can find the
declaration in unit JwaWindows.

I use GetUserNameEx() as well.

If that fails, or is unavailable, I fallback to WMI instead.  I use
GetUserName() and LookupAccountName() to get domain and username, and
then query the FullName from the Win32_UserAccount table.

Also look at NetGetUserInfo() with level=10 (other levels also have a
full name as well).
