windows filepro and username variable

[Robert Haussmann]

Scott,

filePro is simply pulling from the windows environment.  It may be
that in certain configurations, USERNAME isn't getting set (e.g.,
maybe windows XP Home--I'm not sure).

the easiest way to troubleshoot this is to start a command prompt
and type:

set > c:\env.txt

then look at c:\env.txt and see what your environment looks like.
Does USERNAME appear?
