    Hello,

    The GetUserName API on Windows 2000 returns the user name in the exact case
    that the user was created. However on XP, the function returns the user name
    in the case that the user keyed in during log on. Is there a way to instruct
    XP to revert the behavior back to Windows 2000?

    Thanks,
    Alvin
