WinAPI for Finding Windows Type and Priveleges

[Extreme_Coder]

What is the WinAPI used to Find the Windows type (like Xp, 2000, Me) and to find the currnet privilege of logged in user ?

to verfiy windows version use the ::GetVersionEx(..) (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/getversionex.asp)

to find out user privilege look at the ::GetTokenInformation(..) (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/secauthz/security/gettokeninformation.asp)

Thankx for the Reply, what I need is to know whether the current logged in User is an Administrator or not ?

look at the CheckTokenMembership(..) (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/secauthz/security/checktokenmembership.asp) scroll it down and there is a IsUserAdmin( ) function.

Cheers
