## User Name FingerPrint Flag

When this FingerPrint option flag is set, the operating system on the host machine is queried for the currently logged in user name. This value is stored in software. Naturally this value changes with different users on Windows NT, 2000, and XP.

#### Typical Internal Values

- "Administrator"
- "Fred"
- "Sally"
- "Guest"

#### Operating System and Security

This flag will be able to successfully retrieve the user name on all versions of Windows. No special user permissions are required.
