How can I catch the username and NT machine's name right after I run
an Visual C# application. Before I used GetComputerName and
GetUserName to obtain those inforamtion.
Thanks.

The System.Windows.Forms namespace has a SystemInformation object with
this information (ComputerName and UserName).

Additionally, you can use System.Net.Dns.GetHostName() to look up the
local machine's DNS name, which usually -- but not always -- matches
it's Windows networking name.

In addition to the possibilities Mike listed you can also use the static
members in the System.Environment.UserName and MachineName.
