   Look in the registry:
   

   
   For WinNT/2K (I assume this works on XP too...)
   

   
   

   HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\RegisteredOrganization

   
   

   
   You'll need to find a way to read this key as VB can't do it on it's own.  You can use API Routines Reg*.  Check msdn (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library) for more details.

   this looks quite promising, at least if he keeps goin' and wud be nice if he exposes some calls... for guys who want to expand their "Database"
