C# window xp current user when using run as

Question

Is there any way to get the current user who used the run as command to run my applcation on windows xp? I have an application that must be run as an administrator but I need to be able to tell the user who started the application for putting short cuts on their desktop.

I have tried environment.getcurrentuser() and even doing a direct called to the windows api but unfortunately those only tell me the owner of the thread and not the currently logged in user.

Answer 1

The work around that I used was to place short cuts on the public desktop so everyone gets it. Basically I was hoping for a way around just using the public desktop. I am going to go ahead and put this down as the answer but if anyone else comes up with a solution I will mark it as the answer.
