DOS Questi

[Jakev3]

I have a file called file.bat on my computer. When the user clicks on it, i want it to capture the user's login name (NT) and store in a variable (i.e., $username would replace with the real username of that user). What variable/code do i put into the this bat file? Someone told me this can be done. I'm clueless about DOS, so please help me out.

the environment variable "USERNAME" appears automatically when i open a command prompt in XP...

ok. you can access it using "%username%" (without quotes) in your bat file

What he said

For example, this basic command will append each user that logs on to the file "users.txt" if you put it in the logon script

@echo %username% >>c:\users.txt
