Find local user account
  I need to determine whether or not a computer has a local account with a specific name, ie "Manage". Any ideas?

You means computer user with name "Manage"? If YES, have in the HKU key the users available in the computer, so:

EnumRegKey$0 HKU "Manage" "0"

>StrCmp $0 0 NoManage


  #Enter the code to run when have a user with the name Manage


>NoManage:

Use a plug-in or System.dll to call LookupAccountName.

Thanks for the help. I just ended up doing a net user > c:\user.txt and then parsed through that file to see if the local user existed. Thanks.
