Status: offline 		I ran into a thorny problem today.  How to get the user's SID during logon?  I couldn't query the owner of the explorer.exe process because it hadn't started yet.  I didn't want to use any external tools like PsGetSID.  I also didn't want to query AD as I didn't want to take the risk that the user didn't have access to that.  So, I came up with this little "hack".

It creates an environement variable of the user's Fullname.  It then walks through HKEY_USERS trying to find in which key the associated registry key for that environment variable has been created.  Once it finds that, it knows what the SID is because it'll be the name of the parent key.
