Does Anyone know how to get the Windows user and group names?
Thanks.

I believe using WMI and the WqlObjectQuery stuff you can get it using
Win32_Group and Win32_UserAccount, but I haven't tried. That's where I'd
start, though.

Use the static class

Environment.UserName;
Environment.UserDomainName;
and
SystemInformation...
