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:

If NO, sorry, I can't help.

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.
