Hi,

You can get username using GetUserName API like following

require 'Win32API' 
 GetUserName = Win32API.new("advapi32","GetUserName",['P','P'],'L')  
buffer = "\0" * 256;           
nsize =  [256].pack("L")
GetUserName.Call(buffer,nsize)
len = nsize.unpack("L")[0]
username = buffer[0 ... len].chop
