I need to be able to get the user's SID (session id) in string form, for example: S-1-5-5-0-687862401.

I need to access registry info under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\SessionDefaultDevices\

I'm trying to use the API function LookupAccountName but having no luck. My thinking was to follow that by a call to ConvertSidToStringSid.

 

How to sanitize a xml string?

I'm going with this pure PB code unless a simple API call is found:

Long ll_idx, ll_max
String ls_RegKey, ls_SubKey[], ls_GetKey, ls_Device

ls_RegKey = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows"

ls_GetKey = ls_RegKey + "\SessionDefaultDevices"
RegistryKeys(ls_GetKey, ls_SubKey)

ll_max = UpperBound(ls_SubKey)
If ll_max = 0 Then
   RegistryGet(ls_RegKey, "Device", RegString!, ls_Device)
Else
   For ll_idx = 1 To ll_max
      ls_GetKey = ls_RegKey + "\SessionDefaultDevices\" + ls_SubKey[ll_idx]
      RegistryGet(ls_GetKey, "Device", RegString!, ls_Device)
      If ls_Device <> "" Then Exit
   Next
End If
