require 'win32ole'
network=WIN32OLE.new("Wscript.Network")
puts network.username

#or
puts ENV['username']
#for win95/98 use
puts ENV['userid']

#or (stolen from www.,rubytips.org)
require 'Win32API'
name = " " * 128
size = "128"
Win32API.new('advapi32','GetUserName',['P','P'],'I').call(name,size)
puts name.unpack("A*")

Take your pick.
