Question:

I am trying to grab the username and password from windows cache and pass it on to other applications that ask for it. Some applications automatically do this (ie. outlook). I have some applications that users have to login over and over, even after they have logged on to the network. Is there a way to do this?

Answer:

Ummm. Use the @DEFAULT @DEFAULT parameters in w95AddDrive.

You can get the userid with various functions. I haven't seen anyone grab a password. There are security issues.

You may have to ask the user once after logon, save the information, and type it into the various programs as required.
