How to get all user account info in C# (windows VISTA/7)??
Hey guys,
is there a way to get the information (username, home directory, user group, ...) from every user account on a windows machine (VISTA / 7). I'm running the program as an Administrator so rights shouldn't be a problem.
Ofcourse the passwords aren't needed.
Thanks in advance!!!
PS: I'm not that great of a programmer , so some example code would be sweet!

if you use Opera and you'd like to have the tab-button functionality for the texteditor take a look at my Opera Tab-UserScirpt; and if you know how to stop firefox from jumping to the next control when you hit tab let me know

the compiler usually knows better so maybe show us your code?

I thinks you should add using System.Management;
and add reference System.Management to your project.

I only now need to find how I can get a user's group, because that doesn't seem to be an option like "name" or "fullname" with WMI.
