I use PB 10.5 but I think that my code should work for you.

To get Windows user name you should:

1. declare external function:
Function boolean GetUserName( ref string buffer, ref ulong buflen ) Library "advapi32.dll" Alias For "GetUserNameW"

2. Read user name:
ULong lul_buflen=255
String ls_winusername

ls_winusername = Space(255)
IF NOT GetUserName(ls_winusername, lul_buflen) THEN
ls_winusername = "User unknown"
END IF
