WinXP with FUS - detect into dll the users

[Viviana Vc]

Hi all,

I have a question regarding WinXP with FUS (Fast User Switching)
enabled.

I developed an dll that is loaded by several applications. Can I detect
in this dll and how the following:
- How many users are currently logged in on that machine?
- Which is the user that currently interacts with the mouse/keyboard?
- Which is the user for which the dll was loaded?

Thanks in advance,
Viv
