Question:
How do I retrieve the user name and company information from
Windows?
Answer:
This information is stored under the "HKEY\CURRENT USER" section
of the Windows registry. The task of retrieving this entry is greatly
simplified by using the TRegIniFile component.
Example:
uses Registry;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
reg: TRegIniFile;
begin
reg := TRegIniFile.create('SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\MS SETUP (ACME)\');
Memo1.Lines.Add(reg.ReadString('USER INFO',
'DefName',
'Frank Borland'));
Memo1.Lines.Add(reg.ReadString('USER INFO',
'DefCompany',
'A Valued Borland Customer'));
reg.free;
end;
