When I go to HKEY_USERS in WinXP registry, I don't get the real usernames, just the number e.g. S-1-5-18 etc. Is there a way to tell which ID goes with which user account?

Since Windows XP is the next evolution from Windows NT/2000 that is the way user information is stored, using a SID. You can find out which user is being referred to by looking at the "Logon User Name" at [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5...\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer]

yes,
you can use the showsid tool from the resource kit. It displays the SID of the currently logged on user.

Where can I find showsid ? Where do I find the resource kit?
