Hello,

You can get the user name by using the winsock controls Local Host Name property.

Well That Actually Returns The PC Name. But I am Not Using Winsock In This App So I Would Hate
To Use It Just For That. I Know It Can Be Done With API's But I Don't Know How.

Hello,

For getting the user name use GetUserName API.

Hello,

How can I pass an information from one .exe file with another .exe file.

Ex: In one .exe file if I select a picture name(combo box), it should open another .exe file and display that particular picture.(pic box).
