[Tutor] User identification and running in the background.

2006  Good morning Users,  I've had a quick scan around and
can't find a way to identify the user who is logged in on the
machine while a script is running? I've seen a few mentions of
it being possible using bits of the win32 library but I would
have liked my software to be portable with no adjustments.  How
can I run a script in the background? I will be writing a
(prototype) machine control interface and would like the users
to be able to log out, but leave the script running. When the
next user logs in they can open up a portal (preferably in the
system tray) to give them control of the system again. When I
link this to the user identification I would be able to vary the
access to the machine depending on the access rights of the
user.  Thank you in advance of any help.  Wesley Brooks.  More
