    Whoami

    If you are ever uncertain what is the correct User Name on a PC when you are trying to program scan to file, go to the Command Prompt and type in: whoami .

    Try it on your PC!

        A couple of excellent tips.

        Hopefully you may find running the set command from within the command shell equally as useful.
        (c:\>set)

          good stuff, the set command saves so much time when you need to determine 32 or 64 bit os
