Incidentally to get the SID of current user i used sometimes:
whoami /user /FO TABLE /NH
the command returns the full current username and the SID. Seems available post win2000.

    That certainly works on my system (Vista), but it is crazy to have to shell out in order to obtain such a fundamental piece of information.


    With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
    Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
    "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
    In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
